The Hidden Model

From the huddling men in a Rembrandt print to an image in a bathroom mirror that might be Christ or a mere smudge, David Yezzi, with his precisely carved and subtly cutting language, questions and considers the surfaces of our perceptions and the life they conceal-that which suggests, asks, demands to be seen. In this deeply philosophical book, Yezzi deploys a mobile intelligence that reaches from the world of art to the landscape of the mind's cravings and demonstrates a capacious gift for using the formal techniques of poetry in unobtrusive and captivating ways, rendering verse that is both poetically rich and emotionally charged.

<p>From Library Journal\nThe setting of this collection is Cape Cod--its private back roads, beaches, civic meetings, galleries, and shops. Here Fate works chastening ironies upon the character of decent, ordinary folk. "Way to the Dump" (published in Best American Short Stories, 1988 ) traces the calamitous last day in the life of a retired executive expecting his former rival's visit. The protagonist of "Dog People" comes to a similarly unfortunate end. "Clay Carter's Will" is about a husband's misreading of a painting and his posthumous revenge gone awry. In the title story, a seeming fishing accident inflicts punishment on an innocent man. Goldman's moral portraits of inner anguish tempered by outward reserve in the microcosm of "the Cape" are sardonic, suspenseful, and finally devastating. Winner, at the age of 77, of the William Goyen Prize for Fiction, the author has also written the comic novel Big Chocolate Cookies (J. Daniel, 1988) and a collection of poetry.<br />
