Review

"Many of Disch's best poems are characterized by a refreshing combination of blunt (but good-humored) honesty and wit -- an increasingly rare commodity.. What I like best about Tom Disch's poetry is its tough-minded affirmations." -- Washington Post

2.0 out of 5 stars not at all what i expect from disch, September 6, 2009
This review is from: Dark Verses and Light (Johns Hopkins: Poetry and Fiction) (Paperback)
Let me just say that I really like Tom Disch's work. Most of the time. But this collection isn't at all what I expect out of Disch, quality-wise. Section one contained a charming poem about the Nativity and then a dense, confusing masque. Section three was just baffling and I'm not exactly sure what Disch was trying to pull off there. The regular poems were in sections two and four and they weren't up to what I'm used to seeing out of this poet. While I like the poet, I didn't like teh book.
