Drury
is a
responsible dreamer, and what he
is
responsible to, all so rarely,
is
the context of his memory, the site of desire.
It
makes the dreaming
come forward, such accountableness,
as
well
as
come back, the circumstan–
tiality of
it
all.
- Richard Howard
Fiercely intelligent, carefully honed, Drury's poems trust in the myth of the
way things are, singing of memory and loss to our sad world of ovation
and applause.

Bendall lets loose unidentifiable viruses in the aesthetic world of posed
appearances: poetry, ballet, sculpture, painting, and dressing well.
She weights what stands forth with what
is
withheld.
. . .
Such ontological
queasiness
is,
of course, up to date; it's Djuna Barnes, it's Colette, made
current.
-Poetry
There
is
such
a
sweet eroticism to
Dark Su mmer
that only with
a
start does
a
reader realize that some of these lines are so sharp they have already
drawn blood.

KINGDOM COME
Jim Simmerman

Replete with alliteration, allusive gender-bending, colloquial interruptions,
and resonant cross references, the opening lines don't predict the swerves
thatfollow. Seldom does Simmermanfail to offer surprises, a strength in
a
book of stories that have been told
a
thousand times before.
