Many of the poems in Hofmann's impressive new collection return to the subject of his father, the German novelist Gert Hofmann.

But whatever the subject matter, whatever the real or imagined impetus or poetic impulse, the lyrics throughout "Approximately Nowhere" are expertly conveyed in a flowing style and a variety of tones.
