Poetry. Benjamin S. Grossberg's "is a united sensibility, the kind we usually attribute to 'The Time of Myths, ' as the poet calls it. This extraordinarily rich and entertaining first book is unique...for its eager and outrageous connections with the masters who enjoyed such mythical thinking--Shakespeare, Whitman--as well as for its daring departures from what those same masters, so lovingly ransacked, might ever have undertaken"--Richard Howard.
