I might need some time to process the brilliant madness of what I just read.

The poetry here is of a more post-modern cerebral variety, not so much providing emotional oomph, but rather more of an intellectually isn't that neat. Absence, what is unsaid, blankness, erasure, as the title implies is as important as the visible words on the page. Many of Henry's poems drift across the page in jagged lines, leaving visual white space abounds, while many other poems have words and phrases blacked out, omitted, and still others feature lines crossed out by still visible. What is said, what isn't said? What's more important?

I'm not sure there's an answer, and Henry doesn't give you one, purposefully not connecting the dots, but rather colliding phrases in ways that makes you sure something is missing and then leaves it to the reader to determine if and what it is.

I think this kind of poetry is perfectly fine, and I'm certain there are a number of readers who would be jazzed by the intellectual spirals this kind of work could create, however, it doesn't resonate for me on anything more than a "that's neat" level. I read through the book fairly quickly, and with the exception of one or two poems, found not much that lingered after I put the book down -- another form of "lessness", I suppose.

A solid anthology of critical responses to the work of James Tate, including contributions from Marjorie Perloff, Andrew Zawacki, Katy Lederer, Donald Revell, Bin Ramke, and Jeffrey Skinner, to name just a few. Highly recommended as a starting point for scholarship on Tate.

I don't like traditional rhyming poetry and the good news is this book doesn't contain it. Likewise, I don't like poetry that taskes an advanced degree to interpret. Unfortunately this book does. I can't agree at all with the printed reviews on thew back of the book. I didn't find any of the poems beautiful but rather just run on ramblings. I own and have read hundreds of books of poetry and while I like something fresh and away from the mainstream I just didn't get this book.
