"What an honorable fraternity exists among really fine poems,
even if that fraternity consists of a multitude of disparate personalities and voices."

"Lethargic is the word I love,"
writes Dennis Sampson
in "On Doing Nothing."
Within the Shadow of a Man is anything but.
Don't forget how slowly what we love
unfolds when we are most ourselves,
a little mystery on the other side of sense,
you and me together
in this confessional that opens out,
not in—though we are miles apart.
And names the living man.
—from "Between Self and Soul"
Within the Shadow of a Man
