Reviews for Poetic Closure
"Ranging from Elizabethan lyric through free and syllabic verse and concrete poetry, Poetic Closure is a learned, witty, and richly illustrated study of the behavior of poems.... It can be read, enjoyed, studied by people who like reading poetry, including - I would suspect - poets." - Richard M. Elman, New York Times Book Review"
