4.0 out of 5 stars
Prufer is worth a look,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strange Wood (Winthrop University Poetry Series) (Paperback)
A strange and marvelous book. When Prufer is good, he's really good. In "For the Dead," "Nocturnal," and the title poem, he creates, with vivid, unusual, carefully rhythmic language, a disconcerting sense of the oddness that underlies (or undercuts?) the everyday, a thrilling take on the suburban. A few poems fail-notably "Into the Canyon" and "1979," because of their slave-ish narrative structures. Nevertheless, I sense in Prufer a powerful, exciting new voice in the all-too-barren world of contemporary American poetry.

An excellent first book of poetry,
By A Customer
This review is from: Strange Wood (Winthrop University Poetry Series) (Paperback)
This is a fine, readable collection of poetry. I enjoyed every poem, particularly those dealing with archaeology. A good book to order.

Cool but really creepy,
By K. L. T. (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strange Wood (Winthrop University Poetry Series) (Paperback)
I heard Prufer read recently. The guy is really funny. The book, on the other hand, is creepy. In a good way. Lots of dying cats, adolescent boys, confused old people wandering around in these poems. Lots of bad weather. The whole package is terrific . . . best to read from the beginning, then all the way through. The poems build on you.
