Intellectual Things by Stanley Kunitz

bartlebybleaney's review

4.0

Heavy Blakean influence and rather like Dylan Thomas without that sense of madness in the vision of either. Obsession with the relation of soul and body throughout the collection. Strong formal skills, subtle rhyme and assonance, as well as a rare ability to use couplets so as not to render the verbal equivalent of riding a seesaw.
