"This is a book of hope, of triumph, even as each day that we wake is a triumph over how things might have been otherwise. 'Look at all my colors, ' Hughes says, reminding us that black contains all colors, is in that way its own abundance. That abundance includes the erotic, the familial, relationships variously sought and regretted, relationships with others as much as with ourselves, the self as an ever-restless interior of light and shadow. That abundance includes, as well, the hard-won poems of A Shiver in the Leaves, whose music is finally, beautifully, brutally, Hughes's own." — Carl Phillips, from the Foreword
