Description
The love poems of a late California poet. In Open the Blind, he wrote, "The endless sky, the small earth / The shadow cone / Your shining / Lips and eyes / Your thighs drenched with the sea / A telescope full of fireflies / Innumerable nebulae all departing / Ten billion years before we ever / met."

I'm not as fond of Rexroth's own verse as I am of his translations. Fortunately for me about half the book is translations. All collections vary. There wasn't anything here that I remember as brilliant, but I'd read them again.
