    Edward Hirsch’s poems are quick with a sense of life and the texture of everyday living. A rich, tender sense of family runs through this book as Hirsch puts down what he calls “memorandums of my affections.” He is a poet of many facets and great sophistication; the book also contains distinguished poems about Adler and Sullivan and architecture in Chicago and about the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe.
