5.0 out of 5 stars
One of my favorites
This is a brilliant book, with incredible depth and beauty. I reread it every few months, and it never fails to reveal something new and wonderful to me. The collection is smart, sad, playful, and quiet. I highly recommend it.

Mediocre American Poetry
Some pretty lines, but the fog never clears to reveal any depth, meaning, or technical proficiency.

Allusive, great poetry,
By Elizabeth "contortionist" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cuckoo (Yale Series of Younger Poets) (Paperback)
There's something exciting and difficult to put one's finger on in here -- allusive. It's poetry of imagery and fluidity. Its not poetry of moral instruction, self-expression, or the technical view -- poetry as literary exercise -- though it embraces all of those elements. What makes it a great book is its exploration of a such an original world -- but as all great poets and poetry, still sounds as familiar as the wind.

a terrific new book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cuckoo (Yale Series of Younger Poets) (Paperback)
Streckfus' first book is a marvel: a poetry collection that evidences new life for the narrative poem, for the incorporation of fairy tale, myth and history in mysterious and moving ways.
