Across the Layers: Poems Old and New

When Albert Goldbarth's Heaven and Earth: A Cosmology received the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award, the citation called it "a dazzling, delirious book as full of zest and joy as it is prodigal in the sweep of its learning and the warmth of its affections". Now Goldbarth offers Across the Layers, which allows the poet to reconsider recent and previously published work.
