It is a place created by a voice that moves with unerring ease between the commonplace and the sublime. The poems are filled with \"the weather of leavetaking,\" but they are also unexpectedly funny. The erasure of self and the depredations of time are seen as sources of sorrow, but also as grounds for celebration. This is one of the difficult truths these poems dramatize with stoicism and wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Strand was born in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, and was raised and educated in the United States and South America.
