REVIEW

“He is not George Herbert--which of us is?--but the steady and appetitive gaze he brings to experience, his way of looking at and through the phenomena of this world for evidence of order or grounds for faith reminds me of Herbert's intensity, and this is a rare and excellent thing. Richard Spilman's poetry is worth our attention, and his Suspension will be, I suspect, a collector's item.”

— DAVID R. SLAVITT
