The anthology includes Love Alone: 18 Elegies for Rog, in which the poet describes looking after a friend ill with aids: "I go / around the house with a rag of ammonia / wiping, wiping crazed as a housewife on Let's / Make a Deal, the deal being PLEASE DON'T MAKE / HIM SICK AGAIN." By the author of The Carpenter at the Asylum.
