Poetry. "The sense of loss from a past that has faded away infuses many of the poems. WINTER JOURNEY is dedicated to Kenneth Koch, and Towle has a lot of his old mentor's humor, though his is generally more ironic than Koch's.... Towle is at his strongest when he soft-pedals the irony and lets the heart seep through"—Reagan Upshaw, Bloomsbury Review.
