What It Must Be Like for You

What It Must Be Like for You is one of the most tender books of poetry to appear in the last 50 years. That is just about the time frame for these beautiful meditative, lyrical poems looking back on childhood, families, love, work, relationships to the natural world, regrets, and old age.Dennis Sampson has always been perhaps the finest nature poet America created in the 20th century. His incredible eye for detail, the most revealing detail, has never been more incisive, surprising, and inspiring.
