I just thought I'd mention that Robert Darling has done an extremely favorable review of Gail White's new book, The Price Of Everything, over at the Expansive Poetry site. As many of you know, this formal-friendly forum believes in principle on being very tough on its own and does not just do repetitive bland praise, so double congratulations to Gail. Those of you with superb memories will recall that I praised the book here as well several months ago.
Dampening my joy for Gail is that her reviews are a reminder that, had tastes not changed and The New Yorker not dumped light verse, Gail White would be in People magazine more often than she is The Formalist.
