A revelation, 12 May 2005
By N. Dorward "obsessive reviewer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: With the First Dream of Fire They Hunt the Cold: A Body of Work 1966-2000 (Paperback)
I met Trevor in 1996 at a poetry conference in New Hampshire, & knew nothing about him; I was intrigued by his reading there & he kindly gave me copies of _stone floods_ & _The Poems of Sweeny Peregrine_. The first looks superficially like a set of spare, relatively "conventional" lyrics; the second like a translation of the medieval Irish book of Sweeney. (Both impressions aren't exactly wrong but I've gradually realized that there's far more going on in those books....) What really excited me was Trevor's subsequent development, in poems like _Syzygy_, _Hopeful Monsters_, _Without Asylum_ & _Trem Neul_--a poetry as carefully worked-out & full of buried interconnections as the work of his namesake (& distant relative) James Joyce, but with a terse precision closer to Beckett or to the Chinese poetry he's studied for years.
If you want my full review of this (much longer than can be posted at Amazon) you can find it at http://www.soundeye.org/trevorjoyce/chicagoreview.pdf. In any case, this is for me one of the most important collected-poems volumes of the past decade.
