A review of Love-in-Idleness

A really wonderful, elegant review of my book over at Switchback.  I'm honored! And thrilled! And biased!   Please read and share the full piece.

But here's a taste:

"Love-In-Idleness an attempt to catalogue many men: the multiplicity of selves contained within a singular poet.  Taking on the persona of Jacob (as he wrestles with the angel,) or a compatriot of Neitzche and Pasolini, or Christ, Hennessy builds a complex comprehension of time that brings his story into relief.  An ever-present eroticism gains volume as we are rocketed from one mythic scenario to the next, lending the book a momentum that I find electric."
