Lent's transition from poetry to fiction succeeds, in part.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Face in the Garden (Paperback)
John Lent's mixture of prose and poetry in The Face in the Garden marks his transition from an accomplished and demanding poet (Frieze/Wood Lake Music)to a writer of literary fiction. The hybrid form works well, distilling consciousness and more closely approximating subjectivity in the poetry; while, the prose effortlessly drives forth the external narrative with considerable wit. Lent's more recent "Monet's Garden" (Thistledown, 1996) builds off the lessons learned in this transitional volume.
