"The most ingenious and, to my
mind, the best long American
poem since
Paterson."

CiUNSICiHT
by
Theodore Weiss
Theodore Weiss's third book of
poetry is a narrative-dramatic
psychological fantasy. A vivid
directness in narrative and a
rich, concrete eloquence in de–
scription unite in
Gunsight
to
compose an intricately trium–
phant poem.
"It would require an essay of
some length to detail the achieve–
ment of this poem: its rich
modulations of voice, its always
rpontaneous-seeming yet con–
trolled continuities of image and
dramatic construction, its vigor."

CORRECTION: We invented an–
other department in our last issue.

tive Literature-not Comparative

EDITORS' 'NOTE: PR, we feel, has
done just about enough with the
controversy over Eichmann in Jeru–
salem. Many spirited comments,
pro and con, have come in, but we
haven't had the space for most of
them.
For lack of space, too, we are
not running reviews in this issue.
The Summer PR will carry an en–
larged BOOKS section.
ARGUMENTS, in which the com–
ments on Hannah Arendt's book
appear, is a new section for in–
formal and controversial pieces.
