Es una obra cumbre de la poesía moderna. Sus composiciones rompen con el estilo convencional, en uso hasta entonces, y rejuvenecen la estructura del verso mediante el uso regular de encabalgamientos, rechazos y contrarrechazos. Esto renueva la forma rígida del soneto. Utiliza imágenes sugestivas mediante asociaciones a menudo inéditas, tales como el "Ángel cruel que azota los soles" (Le Voyage). Mezcla el lenguaje erudito con el discurso cotidiano....

I know you don't want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you're just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, "this is beautiful," when no one else can see what you see. Or, "Here, this is where the pain is." But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear...

This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in 'Osler and Son', where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner.

An anthem against apathy -Amelia Martens, author of The Spoons in the Grass Are There to Dig a Moat. Read Tracy Mishkin's poems as an antidote to the "meat wheel full of teeth" that is the contemporary news cycle.
