This important collection of poems which spans a career of nearly fifty years demonstrates Robert Mezeys development as a notable stylist thinker and poet Moving from adaptations of Latin and Spanish poems to prayers and lamentations from elegies and plaints of lost love to flights of comic and ribald fancy his poetry reaches to the extremes of human experience The death of friends and family ones selfbetrayals and selfinfatuations the comical confusion of a worried mother the art of a doomed Jewish child in a Nazi concentration campall these human dramas play out bravely against the backdrop of the beautiful indifferent path Mezey can portray aging and death or sing of love and nature with an accuracy of perception and an intensity of feeling heightened by formal clarity and restraint With his razorsharp eye for the singular detail he describes missed opportunities and moments of human weakness and loss in gestures so real the reader will ache In capturing the pain of religious doubt the pangs of tenderness and elation and the vagaries of fate so honestly Mezey has wrought a high finish to each poem so that in the words of Donald Justice they become absolute classics of calm and beauty
