One long poem, a helpless farewell to the poet's late wife, Carol. The myth of Orpheus going down into Hades for Eurydice is pulled out of its ancient setting: Orpheus waits on a pavement at the entrance to Hades, in gusting wind and fog, among car headlights. The figures, the events, the helplessness and the pain are real and of our time.
