  • 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"
