Summary:

"The poems of John Hejduk are almost nonpoetic: still lives of memory, sites of possessed places. They give a physical existence to the words themselves and an autobiographical dimension to the architect." "This is the first comprehensive collection of Hejduk's poems to be published outside an architectural setting."--Jacket.
