Summary: almost cruelly intelligent modern poetry
Comment: This book is just so brilliant. The poems are all terseness, & their lyric integrity & elliptical masonry demand very close attention of the reader. This is avant-garde poetry written by the fists of genius.
Rating: 4
Summary: The Angel of History Repeating
Comment: On first reading I hated this book so much because I didn't understand Forché's departure from the narrative structure of her earlier books. But further rereadings show how necessary it is to break the narrative in a "restoration piece" as this book. The voice(s) fragmented as it/they may seem is/are what holds the book together. These utterances show how that the personal is always political without being partisan. Best of all, I love this book for the expansiveness of meaning and sense whenever it is reread. Forché may not be a prolific poet, but each book is a delicate project, and The Angel of History is probably her best and most delicate work.

Summary: What's the fuss?
Comment: Bombastic, pretentious, and overblown. Also irrelevent.
