Book Reviews of Selected Poems
Book Review: Disappointing --
Summary: 3 Stars
Lacey's bias is such that his selection results in an overemphasis on religion, religion, religion, and more religion. One would have hoped that New Directions would have chosen someone who could actually embrace, in equal measure, Levertov's entire range -- which was not so narrowly confined to religion, religion, religion, and more religion. (The Duncan-Levertov letters suffer the same bias from Albert Gelpi.)
What is it about the "securely" religious that they must infect everything they touch with their private, personal preference?
A better choice would probably have been Robert Creeley, who was at least able to transcend that narrow straightjacketing myopia.
