Among the poems included alongside the title poem are "On Neruda's Death" (concerning Pablo Neruda, who passed away under quite controverial circumstances in 1973), and "We Rise on Sunbeams and Fall in the Night" (about the death of William Carlos Williams, who died after a series of strokes in 1963).SKU: 2120433
