Shaw probes the familiar and encounters the unexpected; in the apparently random he discerns a hidden order. Throughout, Shaw ponders the human frailties and strengths that continue to characterize us, with glances at the stresses of these millennial times that now test our mettle and jar our complacency. Often touched with humor, his perceptions are grounded in devoted observation of the changing world. As in his previous collections, Shaw in these poems unites conversational vigor with finely crafted metrical lines. 606 $aAmerican poetry 606 $aAmerican literature 615 0$aAmerican poetry. 615 0$aAmerican literature. 676 $a811/.54 700 $aShaw$b Robert Burns$f1947-$01646764 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823883303321 996 $aSolving for X$94035132 997 $aUNINA
