A collection of poems about the Holocaust and more,
By A Customer
This review is from: Unspeakable Strangers (Paperback)
In this book of poems about the Holocaust, Brock excerpts documentation of many details in the poems, should honest doubters exist. But the "requiem music," noted by William Styron on the book's jacket and the cool objectivity cited by Donald Justice, address qualities of the poetry. The poet sidebars the problems of writing about atrocity, and in a personal essay he speaks of why he wrote about the Holocaust and some among his many influences. These facets, in a collection of poems, make the book unusual and seem especially appropriate here. The best poems here--some of which appear in anthologies excerpting the best poetry of the Holocaust, both in the U.S. and in England--can stand beside the best poems on any subject in any context.
