Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-08 00:00:00 Valerie Davies I bought this first edition for one dollar in a library sale, and am finally setting out to read this enjoyably pompous Augustan (or anti-Augustan?) poet

Review # 2 was written on 2010-01-22 00:00:00 Sherry Ayers The earlier poems are lyrical, joyous marvels. The 50s and 60s are drier, rooted in metaphysics and dogma (though constantly ceding centre stage to the natural world and immanent forces behind it). But the crown is a long, deeply felt, tragic sequence of 130 short poems where she works through the death of Gavin Maxwell and her unrequited life-long passion for him. Heartbreaking and beautiful.
