Supposedly his collection of erotic/spiritual poems, I think? This volume is okay, but it's not my favorite (Soul Make a Path through Shouting is). But generally, I think he's a keen poet with a beautiful voice that I wish didn't fall out of print so often.

Very readable. The Hiroshima piece is the best.
