1987. Introduced by Seamus Heaney. "In a soft, even voice, she couches emotion in imagery, writing about nature or travel, encompassing all the romanticism that goes along with seeing new places...." --Library Journal J.D.

This selection, recorded in the year in which she published her third collection, Archaic Figure, includes poems from each of Amy Clampitt's four books. Length: 51 min.
