Poetry. PENNYWEIGHT WINDOWS: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS includes a powerful new group of poems and much of the finest work from Revell's eight previous collections. Strong political and anti-war themes make this collection highly relevant to today's most important cultural and political debates. "Revell takes the reader to unfamiliar and strange places and, in the process, he creates some of the most beautiful poetry in our language"--Harvard Review.
