5.0 out of 5 stars
At last.
There isn't a single poem in this scrupulously crafted first book that won't fascinate and rejuvenate even the most jaded reader of poetry. Look forward to Apology for Want: you have been waiting for it. It will restore your faith in the ambitious American lyric.

At Least
As Peter Lorre would have said, "you're choking." There's a lot to appreciate here: the poems are carefully made. One could wish for a little less prudishness, if that's the right word; there's a self-protective mechanism at work in the poetry that keeps meaning in one corner and language in another. Well, okay, but Bang can do better, and will, I am sure.
