Most of the poems in Snow Water Cove, both lyric and narrative, deal with a mythical town in the Adirondack Mountains. Many are poems of childhood, but with a controlled, sensible nostalgia. The dramatis personae range through voices diverse as a florist’s widow, an alcoholic state engineer, a mortician’s god-daughter, and the broken fantasia of an ingénue model. This is a rare and consoling collection.
