About this title: This sequence of 10 books of poetry, inspired by Rilke's DUINO ELEGIES, was published in 1971. It is organized around the poet's awareness of death, loss, and--specifically--the horrors of the Vietnam War. In the end, Kinnell finds solace of a kind in the power of language and of love to transcend the nightmares of the world.
