Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-26 00:00:00 Matthew Connor So it turns out Holderlin is best experiences set to music and in German. I have had this for a long time, traveling back and forth across the country with it thinking "I like Ode to Joy, I'll probably enjoy the rest of his poetry." Nah uh. That RH2017 challenge is out of the way, at least...

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-16 00:00:00 Alex Taylor Sean O'Brien's latest collection makes superb reading. It's a dark but very human book, dealing with death and intimations of the afterlife. With luminous nostalgia and a dry understated wit, it looks back to the poet's past and forward into the unknown. A book of elegies, deeply etched character studies - of places as well as people - and poems of reinitiation.
