Poetry. "So focused, so distilled the articulation of these poems-the details of country matters so strangely noticed, the dreams so strongly nourished-that initially we are at a loss (though quite happy to be there) to know what to make of this new diction..Though spoken out of a solitude and into one, Cantwell's fresh-cut verses achieve a sort of community of perception, 'untethered from familiar darkness,' as the poet says. This new poet says it all. Anew" -Richard Howard.
