This is a collection is from a mature poet with a refined voice. Some of the work includes reminiscences of his youth in rural America. Luce also reflects on his Confederate ancestors, and how the values that motivated them have lost context in today's multicultural society. Another theme is how pioneering jazz musicians have provided him with inspiration. What ties together this bundle of topics is the poet's calm, lucid voice.
