SEVEN
OCCASIONS
Poems
by
HOLLIS SUMMERS
"Mr. Summers, a soloist like the birds he celebrates, dazzles
us as he pluc.:ks the strings of his instrument. He is a very lik–
able poet; his poems are deliberately ingratiating.. .. In one
poem he provides seven different occasions in which birds
show their pride in song; this is handled metaphysically, with
an unerring ear and steady sparks of wit. . . . Here there is
a superb fruition of poetic gifts: charm, playful wit, meta–
physical cunning. .. . Mr. Summers has great resources; he
has the technique to become an important poet."-JOSEPH
