Steve Huff's Book, More Daring Escapes
Reviewed in Prarie SchoonerWinter 2009 Editiion Steven Huff. More Daring Escapes. Red Hen Press.Dan Bellm. Practice. Sixteen Rivers Press.Reviewed by Marilyn Krysl‘‘False words are not only evil in themselves,’’ Plato wrote, ‘‘but they infect the soul with evil.’’ In this first decade of the new century, in which the infection of the lie has become commonplace, I look for sustenance in poems thatbody forth our detailed, multifarious, human truths. Both Steven Huff’s and Dan Bellm’s books resemble each other in setting a high benchmark, and the two books are also similar in structure. Both order their poems intopical sections, and both include a section that is an extended sequence. http://www.rit.edu/cla/english/newsandevents/event?eventId=55
