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.
