I'm reading this book now and enjoying it so much. There are many fine sonnets and ghazals, in particular--favorite forms of mine, although I can't get anywhere with the latter myself. My favorite so far is a poem about The Louvre, in tetrameter envelope quatrains, though. Such rich imagery and poise throughout! I really recommend it--assuming, you know, that the last two sections live up to the first three. It saw me through a most unpleasant visit to the auto repair shop this morning, and even helped me generate a poem of my own. Thanks, SK!

I'll say also that I'm reading two Kelsay books simultaneously (along with a Lucille Clifton collection) and am really impressed with the look and feel of them as books. The other is Chris O'Carroll's funny-ass book, and I'll post about it soon nearby...
