Painting a Disappearing Canvas [signed]

The poems of Mark Saba are observant, philosophical, and deeply-felt. In understated language that is precise and evocative, he takes a close look at such things as the arc of a baseball or a woman selling pot cheese. In other poems he takes a broad view: of history, evolution, and what may become of us. An artist as well as a writer, Saba writes with a painterly eye.
