Reviews

Elton Glaser's third book of poems, Color Photographs of the Ruins, has the virtue of being relentlessly true to itself. Mr. Glaser rants against contemporary poetry --

"Nuclear ecstasy on the picket line; /

Another homily on hominy; the lacquer of tears /

Sealing in the wrath of wronged women"

-- and it's easy to see why, since his poetry exists in some lower circle of hell. His book is so bad-tempered, without joy, that it makes one wonder what to make of our era and its poetry. Mr. Glaser is an angry and forceful poet, who uses wit and contempt as a double-edged sword.[3]
