520    "A book of elegy, loss, and what binds us to life, by a 
       towering poetic talent. "We sleep long, / if not sound," 
       Young writes early on in this exquisite gathering of poems,
       "Till the end/ we sing / into the wind." In scenes and 
       settings that circle family and the generations in the 
       American South--one poem, "Kith," exploring that strange 
       bedfellow of "kin"--the speaker and his young son wander 
       among the stones of their ancestors. "Like heat he seeks 
       them, / my son, thirsting / to learn those / he don't know
       / are his dead." Whether it's the Louisiana summer's 
       fireflies in a mason jar (doomed by their collection), or 
       his grandmother, Mama Annie, who latches the screen door 
       when someone steps out for just a moment, all that 
       comprises our flickering precarious joy, all that we want 
       to protect, is lifted into the light in this moving book. 
       Stones becomes an ode to Young's home places and his dear 
       departed, and to what of them--of us--poetry can save"--
