New York Times Book Review
"The poet's entire effort is directedtoward a confrontation with experience-and not with personal experience alone,but with history in all its paradoxical horrorand wonder .... The translations in Bells in Winterreveal a voice that is unadorned and discursive,yet capable of powerful (and delicate)poetic effects; it is a voice that works throughtraditional forms to transform andrevivify tradition .... Few other living poetshave argued as convincingly for thenobility and value of the poet's calling."
Ingram
