Reviews / Votes
"The collected poems of a greatly gifted poet may not offer the suspense of a well-plotted novel, but there is still a certain drama in seeing the art of a life's work fitted between the covers of one book...The recent poems that make up the last section are some of Jacobsen's very best."'--New Criterion'More details
