In one fell swoop, this collection exposes the incredible and the ordinary with such tenderness that it seems the whole of life is contained within its stanzas. King's nostalgia-never sentimental and at times bittersweet-beckons old songs and lovers, asking not for remorse, but instead for giving due the wonder of childhood and the exquisite ties we make to people as years pass. In this world, the civilized and the natural shape us imperceptibly, and in King's view, a sanguine perspective is the reward.
