The Will to Change

** *The Will to Change *is an extraordinary book of poems…It has the urgency of a prisoner’s journal: patient, laconic, eloquent, as if determined thoughts were set down in stolen moments. —David Kalstone in* The New York Times Book Review*** *The Will to Change* must be read whole: for its tough distrust of completion and for its cool declaratives which fix us with a stare more unsettling than the most hysterical questions…It includes moments when poverty and heroism explode grammer with their own dignified unsyntactical demands…The poems are about departures, about the pain of breaking away from lovers and from an old sense of self. They discover the point where loneliness and politics touch, where the exercise of the radical courage takes its inevitable toll.—David Kalstone in *The New York Times Book Review*
