for broader empathy linger even in the more coolheaded writing here, with the winding lines of "Road to Amaudo", a manifesto piece of sorts, describing a route "at times impassable:/but pass people do", "hefting the load/of hope on their backs". The loving detail, hypnotic rhythms and unflinching realism of such poems make for Fiere's most memorable moments, by turns affecting and cerebral.
