Harvest

by Emanuel di Pasquale

Overview

Poetry. "HARVEST is a splendid collection, fresh and various"—X. J. Kennedy. "[Di Pasquale] writes out of strong experience, and by insisting on accuracy, he comes out both simple and surprising. He's never decorative: there is always something human happening, and his words are close to it"—Richard Wilbur.
