(This collection of poems written over a nearly fifty-year...)
This collection of poems written over a nearly fifty-year span is clearly autobiographical, even if some of the poems deal with dreamlife instead of actual events. The book is a self-portrait of a poet using as a medium the things and places he has seen, the experinces he has had, the people he has known and loved, the changes he has gone through in the journey from fearful and fanciful child to a man of seventy, for who what's left is family and poetry.
