Diamond Dreams: Walk-Up Music by Paul Watsky

This review of Paul Watsky's second full collection of poetry, Walk-Up Music, by Liane Strauss, addresses the evolution of the themes and preoccupations of his first, from childhood, family, and the persistent presence in our lives of the dead, to our involvement with myth and our place in the natural world, and from the fates of poets to the big themes of power, history, dreams, and baseball.
