One of the best collections in a long time

Dick Allen is a word master, a poet whose work should be required reading by all poets, all Americans, all world citizens, and by anyone interested in life, language, and literature. Not only is this book physically beautiful, but the poems are wonderful. There is kindness, depth, awe, humor, and such a wide-ranging sensibility in Allen's poems that this book, although seeped in the modern (computers and all) will be timeless. Highly recommended.
