"Random Necessities, John Wheatcroft's sixth volume of poems, carries on the searching and exploring that have energized his poetry, fiction, and plays for four decades. Over time, Wheatcroft's passion to find a way to be and to do has deepened. And as the world for him has become increasingly obdurate, obscure, fragmented, and violent, his struggle to embrace, to see and hear, to hold together, and to endure has intensified."--BOOK JACKET.

"In language that can be elegant but is usually tough, and in verbal music that is occasionally melodious, more often dissonant, the modes and moods of the poems range from celebratory to accusatory, from accepting to defiant, from playful to elegiac, from tender to bitterly ironic, though compassion underlies them all."--BOOK JACKET.
