Description
The poems of Lucas Carpenter are like the poems of no one else I know. There are many good things to say about them that they speak with a fine intelligence and with the clarity of an honest voice, that Carpenter knows what a line is and has a marvellous feel for resolution. All this is rare enough, but what sets these poems apart is something even rarer: Lucas Carpenter makes poems remarkably unadorned by image or metaphor, giving his voice a quality I want to describe as spartan. Reading them with contemporary expectations is a disorienting experience and one I strongly recommend. Miller Williams
