A Thief of Strings

“No poet so innovative now is more accessible, and no poet half so accessible in recent years has made the language so new.” —<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review “Revell is a post-Romantic, his natural imagery clear and immediate, his feelings never very far from his sleeve, his tone approaching a prayerful devotion. . .” —<em>Library Journal</em> “These poems make you want to read them over and over, you want so much to understand their magic, their vastness. We suddenly have a master. God bless his courage, his knowledge, his playfulness, his stubbornness, his loving attention. God pity his grief.” —Gerald Stern
