"Butterfly Valley: A Requiem collects four medium-length works. "Butterfly Valley" is a sonnet cycle which describes the glowing color and beauty of butterflies, and also their fragility and mortality. Memory is uncovered in the poem like the fluttering of their wings. In "Watersteps," the fountains and piazzas of Rome coalesce, brought alive in the imagination by the poem's shifting rhythms, lines, and overall structure. In "Poem on Death" the poet seeking immortality faces the whiteness of the page as the blankness of death. "Meeting," written in extended sections, describes a "coming together," yet examines our failure to connect and the ability of language to overcome this."--BOOK JACKET.
