Review

A first attempt to gather critical articles and commentary in order `to see the poet whole'....An important item for collections of contemporary poetry and, especially, religious verse. (Choice)

The essays...reinforce the picture of a man being constantly born anew, the violence of continual metamorphosis of careers and personal trauma, the growing pains reflected in a poetry of rich imagination, energy and power--a poetry which has affected the work of many others who have come to know and value it....A useful and interesting book. (Western American Literature)
