Throughout, Hollander delights us with mirrors, palindromes, and strange and surprising reversals that keep the mind ever alert with the challenge & #8220 to make words be themselves, taking time out / From all the daily work of meaning, to / Make picture puzzles of what they& #8217 re about.& #8221 Donna Seaman has written of John Hollander, & #8220 His wise and robustly complex poems span the mind like stone aqueducts or canyon-crossing railroad bridges& #8212 awesome works of knowledge and craft, art and devotion.& #8221 In this exciting new volume, Hollander shows once again the reach of his poetic imagination.
