Late Gifts is a delightful and contemplative book that explores the transformative impact of a late gift—a son born to a middle-aged father—on the protagonist's sense of present and future, as well as the nature of time itself. The poet delves into this demanding yet joyful relationship with wit and vigor, breathing new life into his world. The child's future heightens the urgency of the environmental and political themes that have long been a concern for the poet, prompting him to develop fresh forms for his subject matter. These include striking longer pieces that offer vivid imagery and a mesmerizing energy, such as the twin gatherings of prose poems Shore Gifts and Shore Thefts, as well as quieter, meditative poems of elegy and awe-struck praise. Maureen N. McLane has aptly described Price as "one of our most attentive, delicate, ferocious transmitters, singers, and makers."
