引用
-
"Aubade" is "a single, flawless stroke," and regarding the rest of the book: "If some of the poems that precede 'Aubade' seem, by contrast, a little too much under his control, offering the mastery without the mystery, well, there’s a lot to be said for mastery."
出典: The New York Times (Eric McHenry, 2006) (2006年)
