To Mossotti, the love of a bricklayer for his wife is as complex and simple as life itself: "ask him to put into words what that sinking is, / that shudder in his chest, as he notices / the wrinkles gathering at the corners of her mouth." But not a whiff of sentiment enters these poems, for Mossotti has little patience for ideas of the noble or for sympathetic portraits of hard-used saints. His vision is clear, as clear as the memoryMay Swenson Poetry Award series ;v. 15.PoetryPoetry.811/.6Mossotti Travis1814345MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964255003321About the dead4368183UNINA
