This collection of poetry faithfully moves from the private to the publ ic, from individual experience to civic responsibility through an elegy for the 1960s and the world that has become our own. The meditative analysis is expanded, from introspection to the troubled psyche of Vietnam-age America. In poems like "La Pastorela" there is an overlay of classical and popular echoes, heightening personal reminiscences.
