Hundreds Of Fireflies

From dust jacket notes: "In the brief period in which Brad Leithauser has been publishing his poems in such magazines as Poetry, The New Republic, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic, his work has earned the attention and regard of some of the country's most distinguished poets....Here are poems of a classic brilliance and brightness of feeling, poems about subjects as varied as a giant tortoise, a want ad for a summer cottage, canoeing at night, the ghost of a ghost. They are radiant poems, and they announce a poet of the first order."
