Scope and Contents
Summary
The collection centers on the disorienting experiences of the returning soldier, experiences that reverberate through the "Quatrains for Ishi," a personal address to the sole survivor of an ancient race, and "The Glass Ark," a conversation between male and female paleontologists working in the glass observation room at La Brea Tar Pits.
