In his fifth book, Paul Mariani uses the image of the wheel to chart the kinds of losses we all face in living--deaths and separations, lost loves, lost friends, lost happiness. The wheel of fortune, a ferris wheel ridden with a friend now dead, Dante's paradisal wheel, the wheel of the morning sun, by turns call up the writings of Hart Crane, Whitman, and Hopkins.
