Spanning thirty-five years of Fillmore's work, this anthology elegantly captures the details of the landscape of American experience. With equal parts candor and grace, the seventy poems gathered here track a journey through exile from society and return, with marriage and fatherhood shaping each stage along the way. Written in a distinct lyrical yet restrained style, the work is meditative—at times playful and, at other times, darkly atmospheric. This volume brings together work previously featured in Seneca Review, Chelsea, Provincetown Arts, Luna Negra, and Tough Poets Review, along with new poems appearing in print for the very first time.

"One hell of a poet!"
