An "Aye" for the Eye

We were delighted when Magdalena Ball decided to review David Adès’s A Blink of Time’s Eye.

Magdalena's fine review that demonstrates a deep understanding of Adès’s work. In seeking to understand the craftmanship that is so evident in David’s book, Magdalena points to his work on the Poet’s Corner podcast:

“… these interviews … really get into the nitty gritty of a poet’s full body of work, process, techniques and themes. I suspect that is part of why Adés own work is so rich is how deeply he understands the making of a good poem.”

 You can read the full review on the Compulsive Reader website here.

Thank you, Magdalena, for all the work you do for poetry.
