"On the surface, "No Chronology" is an austere book of poems, belying its diverse thematic and stylistic strands. Among autobiographical lyrics and narrative poems centered on landscape, we find dramatic monologues spoken by characters or historical figures, and ekphrastic poems that respond to works of visual art.
