Reviews

[Rachel]

Paul Hostovsky's poetry is an exciting discovery. He writes with wit and passion of inner worlds accessible, perhaps, only to poets of lyric intensity and those whose impairment of outer senses have heightened other sensitivities. One of my favorites is the title poem, for its embodiment of that idea of worlds within worlds, some only partly accessible to those of us whose senses turn us constantly outward rather than inward. The spareness of language is leavened by humor and word play. I will be acquiring more of this poet's works and recommend it highly.
