This sixth collection by Diane Ackerman, the well-known nature writer, contains rich imagery describing the beauty of everyday pleasures, as well as meditations on death and longing. The passionate depth present in a poem describing the pain of psychotherapy is brought equally to bear on a poem describing an apricot.
