When a book of poems this magnificent goes out of print, the world is in dire trouble. Let us hope that the loss is only temporary, and that meanwhile you can borrow a copy from your community library. If not, satisfy your cravings with The Master Letters, another superb (and necessary) addition to the art from this Master Craftswoman--without a doubt, one of the finest poets working today.

I will be quick. She has, here, made language hers. It is too little to say that this book is "good." To see where her mind travels and the lyrical language she uses to express that place have left me breathless as I read and reread her work. Truly, unless you have already imagined the day the whale landed on the streets of Manhattan, you have not imagined enough.

Lucie Brock-Broido, as is the lot for wonderous poets, will not be given her due attention when she deserves it. I know this because she hasn't recieved enough yet and she's long past due.
