Tom Lowenstein's first full-length book of poems shows his development from meditative and hermetic earlier poems, through formalism to a mode of controlled ironic wildness, in which he explores in concrete detail the fantasies that emerge from metaphor and parodic speech. Unnervingly precise comedy is only one aspect of his gift; in the narrative poems which end the book he deals excitingly with ethnology and myth.
