| Description | viii, 68p Black Spine |
| Note | The poet examines the moral and psychological fetters that we impose on ourselves and that are imposed on us, as well as the possibility of achieving some meaningful freedom from both. Speak low weighs the human cost of ambition, desire and risk. It is a record of a powerful vision that continues to illuminate what it has meant, and can mean, to be alive and human in the world. |
