A concise critique praising Lowell’s new 72 page volume as maturing his voice in a tradition that contends with modern decay. The critic contrasts Life Studies and this edition noting less focus on the super personal and a stronger, more direct sense of personal truth within a tradition that grapples with existential doubt.
The review praises Lowell as probing self construction over doctrinal faith. It cites Night Sweat and Old Flame to show a poise between a deteriorating present and a haunted past with lines on faith. Ringheiser, Banner wire editor, calls the book a brilliant achievement matching Frost for wound-like real poems.
