The Good Thief

[timons]

         Marie Howe's The Good Thief is a much earlier collection than What the Living Do which I read in May. The poems are less clear, the meanings seemingly buried in mystery and metaphor. Good work in here, and I plan to re-read it while teaching my class this fall.
         "Isaac" and "Veteran's Day" both look at sacrifice, a bit awry, and are well worth study, I think.
         I also admired "From Nowhere."
