TWENTY-SEVEN PROPS FOR A PRODUCTION OF EINE LEBENSZEIT

Timothy Donnelly, . . Grove, $14 (97pp) ISBN 978-0-8021-3957-3

With rhyme schemes unseen since Swinburne and the will to carry them through multiple, lexeme-laden stanzas, Donnelly "allowed himself the lustrous pleasure of allowing" in this debut. These 27 poems work toward the title's "lifetime," "though tussocked grasses bend and fade."
