Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-20 00:00:00 Hai Nguyen Anh One of our most lyrically-gifted poets'it is as he says in "Out-of-the-Body Travel," Plumly draws these poems "so carefully as to make the music / almost visible on the air." And we see, even in these lines "how well he understood the pain / he put [us] to." "Out-of-the-Body-Travel" and "For Esther" are two of the most exquisite poems in the English language.
