5.0 out of 5 stars 66 galaxie saves what's precious & unique about poetry, October 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 66 galaxie: poems (Bakeless Prize) (Paperback)

The worst thing about poetry is that it too often smacks of a wholly effete enterprise; much of the verse that seeks to remedy this is dull or crude. But 66 galaxie has the precision and subtlety of the most accomplished writing as well as the generosity and resonance of poular music and film... utterly rare, it's a book that appeals to sensibilities high, low and middle. Distribute this book amongst your poetry-loathing pals, who will be surprised and, I think, delighted.

4.0 out of 5 stars sweet and angry, 66 galaxie is a gem, August 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 66 galaxie: poems (Bakeless Prize) (Paperback)

66 galaxie is angry and poignant, breathless and sharper than sharp. At times the space around poems lends to their haunting quality, other times--as with "the king of refrigerator poems"-- bravado and swagger is infused with an understated sadness, a difficult honesty. I'm glad I bought the book.
