Edizione: updike brings vision and warmth to this collection of poems. "in the boldly eclectic title poem of this collection, he employs the meters of dante, spenser, pope, whitman, and pound, as well as the pictographic tactics of concrete poetry, to take an inventory of his life at the end of his thirty-fifth year - at midpoint.the remainder of the volume is a six years' harvest of light verse and incidental lyrics - poems dealing with love and death, animals and angels, places and persons, dream artifacts and the naked ape."
