In The Sound acclaimed poet David Mason collects his best shorter work of the past forty years, including lyrics like ""Song of the Powers"" and darkly brilliant narratives ""The Collector's Tale"" and ""The Country I Remember,"" which Anthony Hecht called ""a welcome addition to the best that is now being written by American poets."" A poet of love and history and nature, Mason forges a language that can reconnect us to the world.

His forms breathe. --Brain Phillips, Poetry From his first full-length narrative poem, The Country I Remember, to his extraordinary verse novel, Ludlow, David Mason's ambition to expand the realm of narrative in contemporary verse has been central to his poetic project, even as successive collections revealed him as one of the best lyric poets of his generation. --Charles Martin A poet to listen to, and to trust. --Kate Hendry, author of The Dark Horse One of our most authentic and accomplished poets at the top of his lyric form. --Andrew Frisardi, author of Angle Poems featured in Rattle Poetry's Rattlecast
