The poems work through these questions with Principe's characteristic subtlety, intelligence - a nuanced and compassionate meditation on what it means to be at home.

Stars Need Counting meditates on questions of suicide in the mode of A. Alvarez, when he says, in A Savage God, that there are no answers to these questions, because suicide is a "closed world" - so closed that it's not our place to judge or cast shame. These essays explore the quality of what is closed about this world, bring it close enough to scrape the shame off the act, and for both those who have passed and those who survive, offer peace.
