Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Progressions, and Other Poems
The point with regard to discipline I may expand to say that a poem like Objects Have a History owes to Empson, looks something like an Empson poem and feels something like one in the language. If one must have progenitors, as all poets in some way do, Empson is an excellent one, providing the privilege is not abused, as it never is in these pages. This is the sound of Cook.
