Where Dwell the Seasons Past

Flashbacks in time, reflections on art, and meditations on the natural world occupy Mr. Scacco's seventh volume of poetry. Familiar themes - the passage of time, loss, and the awakening of fragmentary memories of the past in settings ranging from Japan to France - are revisited in these twenty-six poems. Included are a suite of cameos inspired by piano pieces of Severac, Janacek, and Debussy; two haiku-like visual pieces; and a quartet of seasonal poems. As in his past poetry collections, Mr. Scacco has created several new woodcuts to grace these elegant pages.
