“There is a great deal of self-knowledge in these poems, and it is all slightly painful, a bit absurd, and touched with a humble grandiosity that the poet relishes. He is irrecoverably entangled in Jewishness, and he brings that into the light. For all the suffering and painful contradictions the poems in this book deal with against the historical background of Jewish suffering, the mind that comes through is invariably gentle.”
