These poems voyage from the subtle violences of a religious upbringing to complex remembrances of time served in the Vietnam War to contemporary emergencies of real and political plagues. Yet, no matter the subject, compassion rudders these lyrics as they turn always and at last to myriad beloveds-the enigmatic Angel of Death, literary and mythological influences, kind strangers, the constantly elusive and elusively constant moon. These words reach out to the reader the way the poet addresses frozen joy from the confines of winter: \"Red berry trapped in ice, \/ let me touch you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoug Anderson's first book of poetry, \u003ci\u003eThe Moon Reflected Fire\u003c\/i\u003e, won the Kate Tufts Discovery Award in 1995, and \u003ci\u003eBlues for Unemployed Secret Police\u003c\/i\u003e received a grant from the Eric Mathieu King Fund of the Academy of American Poets.
