Poetry. "Anderson is a master of the syntactic measure, blending novelistic and essayistic tones with first-person statements that retain a cool observational air without ever feeling aloof. There is an eveness to the distribution of `event' in these texts that defies thematization." --Steve Evans, Notes to Poetry. "We need not risk crossing open sky if imagination alone will suffice" --from OVERBOARD. Other books by the same author available from SPD include THE HABITABLE WORLD, HAZARD, and IN RESIDENCE.
