Greater Circles by Kevin Walzer
Kevin Walzer's critical book, The
Ghost of Tradition: Expansive Poetry and Postmodernism, is the definitive
study of the New Formalist/New Narrative poetry movement. Now, in Greater
Circles, his second poetry collection, Dr. Walzer establishes himself
as one of the leading second-generation members of that movement.
Written in a variety of forms, these lyrics and narratives gracefully explore the joys and burdens of love. Unflinching in their gaze at love's demands and our human failings, they also celebrate the spiritual and physical connections that love affords. As the critic and poet Kevin Bezner has said of Dr. Walzer, "He is a poet who wants to explore all the poetic tools available to him, but the story he tells is always of primary importance."
