review 1: Complex and dense poetry about existing in the in-between states prior to or during successful or unsuccessful transformation. Highlights include extensive and adept use of marine imagery, a near-perfect construction of line and an attempt to reanimate some phrases borrowed from law, theory and the commercial world that have become dead. Using these in new and inventive ways, Donnelly's excitement is palpable as he experiments with methods to make them more meaningful. There is a density here, but it is not a density that lacks meaning or motion; it is a density that does work, and rewards close readers.
review 2: I'm not sure what to say about these poems as I am of several divergent opinions. They are quite erudite and philosophical and sometimes that works f... moreor me and sometimes not. Often there are long, complex sentences and then, now and again, there are smallish fragments, sometimes in the same poem. There is nothing inherently right or wrong with either but the short fragments seem out of place in the overal style of the poet.All in all, I think perhaps he's trying too hard. But I did enjoy something about them. I'll have to revisit these poems in the future and see if I can pinpoint what that is. less
