Kooser made the astute point that

Some of the most touching passages place the poet, alone at some milepost, struggling to find adequate language with which to reach back through almost a hundred years.

Yes, there's something about the solitude David feels that saturates passages of his work and enhances what he says, at least for me.

Thanks for pointing out the review, Maryann.

That's a fine understanding review. I have been haunted by "Ludlow" since I read it. The two main characters are alive in the same way that Dickens's characters live. Kooser has said what I felt.

The world has become forgetful about less powerful people. A poem/novel like David's is a timely reminder of this.
