Borrowed Trouble: Micro Tribute to Robert Lowell (1917-1977)
I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –

Robert Lowell
The painter at the
sea’s
edge arranged an
easel
to prop up a mirror
the size of the
horizon.

To my mind, nobody is better than Lowell at transforming the personal into the universal.
ReplyDeleteA summary is just that, a short overview of the book's plot. A review is a critical examination of a work. A good review should attempt to be impartial, pointing out both the good and bad qualities of the book
