Title: A Sundry Aglomeration of Images
Product review: What passes for poetry today is taxing to the true spirit of the tradition. Deer Table Legs and the poems therein are the perfect example of what Harold Bloom warns us about in his essay in The Best of the Best American Poetry: "the barbarians are about us and we must retain the heights." No music in the lines, inattention to traditional meters, lack of vision, and ill-afforded ennui are the faults found in this book. We must demand higher standards if poetry is to survive into the next century.
