Brad Leithauser's first collection of poems to be published in the UK, Between Leaps (1987), received wide critical acclaim, many of the reviewers noticing his technical skill, sensitivity to the natural world, and mastery of the meditative form. In this second collection all those facets are evident and are employed to achieve even greater effect. The poems again deal in detail with the natural world, and many draw on his experience of living for the past year in Iceland.
