Synopsis

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Four and Twenty Blackbirds Soaring reconfirms my belief that Louis Daniel Brodsky is one of the most exciting poets writing in America today. His careful attention to concrete detail, his rich and creative imagination, his impressive powers of narration and characterization, and, above all, his daring and insightful use of metaphor combine to place him in the first rank of contemporary poets.
