Book Review: Forget Harry Potterexperience Reichard's wizardry instead
Summary: 5 Stars
The range of these poems is astounding, and they gain power with rereading. The poems mourning the loss of the author's family members to illness as well as the loss of friends to AIDS are a moving and artistic revival of the elegiac form. And yet there is humor, as well, attention to nature. Few poetry books stretch all the way from exploration of language a la Language School formats, (with a deliberate nod to Frank O'Hara, New York School poet prototype) to the unjustly maligned "emotion recollected in tranquility," but this books does, and does it right. An exemplar for contemporary writers and students of poetics.
