I enjoyed this volume of poetry. Warren writes some of the most beautiful prose you'll find anywhere. I did lose the plot in a few poems, but overall, it was an enjoyable reading experience.

Not having read Robert Penn Warren's poetry before, I was not expecting something so formally loose. Eloquence and sharp imagery, certainly, and they are here in abundance, but I was surprised by the degree to which Warren seems to, in many cases, let the idea he's expressing determine the length of his line or sometimes shape his stanzas.
