A Thief of Strings

“No poet so innovative now is more accessible, and no poet half so accessible in recent years has made the language so new.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Revell is a post-Romantic, his natural imagery clear and immediate, his feelings never very far from his sleeve, his tone approaching a prayerful devotion. . .” —Library Journal “These poems make you want to read them over and over, you want so much to understand their magic, their vastness. We suddenly have a master. God bless his courage, his knowledge, his playfulness, his stubbornness, his loving attention. God pity his grief.” —Gerald Stern
