Willis Barnstone has a problem: he's too good. Dazzlingly gifted as a writer ... everything he writes, from his invaluable The Other Bible, which no writer should be without, through his brilliant translations and beautiful poems, up to this new collection, is a breathtaking achievement. Buy this book.—Carolyn Kizer
