This is an auspicious debut for Deborah Warren. Her first collection examines a variety of subjects with the grace and felicity of form, rhyme, and meter. Here are poems dealing with love and the many ways it has of going wrong, the difficulty of faith, "sad mortality," and, in the book's opening and closing poems, how to manage the morsel of world we think we own, how to catch beauty in a net, how to find the most elusive thing of all--happiness.
