Review
"The poet's entire effort is directedtoward a confrontation with experience-and not with personal experience alone, but with history in all its paradoxical horrorand wonder .... The translations in "Bells in Winter"reveal a voice that is unadorned and discursive, yet capable of powerful (and delicate)poetic effects; it is a voice that works throughtraditional forms to transform andrevivify tradition .... Few other living poetshave argued as convincingly for thenobility and value of the poet's calling."-- "New York Times Book Review"
