3.0 out of 5 stars A minor work, in the greater canon., September 7, 2004
This review is from: The Sleeping Beauty (Paperback)
Hayden Carruth, The Sleeping Beauty (Copper Canyon, 1990)

The Sleeping Beauty is a long (125-section) poem from Carruth, one that seems fragmented at first but gradually pulls together; mythology, dreams, jazz, all worked into something that could equally be a poem of love or hate, depending on the reader's perspective. As is usual with Carruth, the language flows, but often with the speed of cold molasses; Carruth's work goes from being accessible to being thick, sometimes within the same poem.

Not a good place to start with Carruth (the best place is Collected Shorter Poems 1946-1991, also released by Copper Canyon), but definitely worthy for established fans. ***
