Sisyphus and Other Artifices:
A Review of Stephen Dunn's Local Visitations (W.W. Norton, 2003)
Poet and critic Ron Smith
(Running Again in Hollywood Cemetery) discusses Local Visitations,
the
twelfth
collection
by
Pulitzer
Prize-winning
poet Stephen Dunn: "When we think of all the blunt blundering, all the inept
evasiveness that constitutes thinking in our public and private discourse in
twenty-first century America, how wonderful it is to have poems like Stephen
Dunn's delicate, measured examinations and fittings-together, the work of a jeweler
or a watchmaker. Or a neurosurgeon."
