John Ashbery's esteem for A. F. Moritz has been seconded repeatedly by critics and readers. Starting in 1975 with <i>Here</i> and continuing through the years to Moritz's latest, <i>The Sentinel,</i> this poet has carved an important career in poetry. This new collection has already begun garnering praise and awards: the title poem was honored by the prestigious <i>Poetry</i> magazine. These poems, exploring everything from vanishing civilizations to nature's mysteries, display MoritzÕs intelligence and insight blended with a supple craft and wordplay that have made his work unique in the field.
