Reviews

Wilson's collection of short fiction, Dancing for Men ( LJ 12/15/82 ), won the Drue Heinz Prize; with this, winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize for first book of poetry, he becomes the first writer ever to win both prizes offered by Univeristy of Pittsburgh Press. What is even more impressive is the excellence of his poetry. The narrative voice, the ability to create believable characterssometimes through description alone, sometimes through long meditative poems in others' voicescarries over from his fiction. Poems in women's voices are especially sensitive. With all the innocence of childhood yet an adult's knowledge, these poems strike a delicate balance. A first kiss "changed the world of facts/ Into nonsense" and Wilson is not at all apologetic. Highly recommended. Rochelle Ratner, formerly Poetry Editor, "Soho Weekly News," New York
