another suberb collection from an established master

Richard Howard continues to dazzle us with his wit and erudition and uncanny ability to enter the consciousness of his chosen personae. But there is more to savor in this recent collection than the riches we are used to from Howard. These recent poems move us also with their fearless risk taking and depth of feeling. This is poetry for lovers of great poetry in the tradition of Browning and, yes, William Shakespeare.
