As the Crow Flies

Poetry. "Henry Weinfield's poems are, like the bird of his title, dark and foreboding. Western civilization, they appear to be telling us, has lost its way and now has nowhere to go. But this view is expressed in poems as articulate, elegant, learned and witty--in short, as civilized--as it is possible for poems to be. The contrast between Weinfield's skill and what his skill is called on to express could not be more poignant."--Clive Wilmer
