He faces without tears a world in which onecreature preys upon another for survival, and he looks withoutfear to the "revelry of the grave" when his form becomes foodfor worms and feeds the laurel bushes growing over him.According to critic John Lang, Peake's poems reveal "a poetwhose ear is attuned to the music of words" His poems abound"in beautiful lines and 'The black-necked waders cryin their wet fields,' for example, and 'skies the white-faced ibissoars.' Such lines embody in Fred Chappell's phrase, 'the eye'sjoy.'"
