Review
"For me this is the poetry book of the year. I have little doubt that it will prove to be the outstanding collection of one man's poems to appear in this decade."--Louis Untermeyer, Saturday Review

Customer Reviews
One of my favorite books of poetry
This book has the best of Dickey's writings. I bought it 15 years ago for "The Performance" and "Drinking from a helmet". Of all poetry about war, this is the most realistic.
