Description
Poetry. "With a simplicity of phrasing, directness of address, and nimble first-mindedness, the poems in STAR IN THE EYE convey great depth, zest, and mystery. Their brevity is anathema to fragmentation; instead playfully and mordantly, they honor 'what will suffice,' as Stevens says, with a calligraphic precision and flair. If anyone could cut a diamond with a paintbrush, it would be James Shea—his work is so marvelous; utterly lucent and revivifyingly strange"—Dean Young.
