In this buoyant new collection, poet Stephen Sandy offers a splendid array of recent work, taking a celebratory, wryly transgressive stance. While remaining a poet of severe and compassionate observation, he adopts a mode of startling meditations, thoughtful and cheerful at once. His poems remark on the challenges we face, but they also sing inwardly, with a knowledge of choices made and convictions kept.
