A CERTAIN SEASON

Here is poetry in a major key: warm and enthusiastic, clear and direct, frequently funny. Relying on traditional forms of rhyme and meter, Ted Roupas creates an easy, conversational tone that belongs firmly to the present. Always graceful no matter how demanding the form, these poems illustrate Pope’s definition of “true wit” as “nature to advantage dressed, what oft was thought but ne’er so well expressed.”
