A review by cwalsh
Life Studies and For the Union Dead by Robert Lowell

3.0

Not a surprise due to their close friendship, but this is undeniably influenced by Elizabeth Bishop, especially toward the latter end of Life Studies. Skunk Hour and Night Sweat are the stars of the show in my opinion... how can you beat the subtle sorrow of "I dabble in the dapple of the day"?

3.75 because I'm feeling #pretentious.
