"One of the few English poets to take the road of Stevens and Ashbery"-Peter Porter "Dancers in Daylight's" often unsettling poems-such as the title piece, depicting a seemingly hallucinatory meeting with the dying Rudolph Nureyev-are counter-balanced by more celebratory poems which depict active life, vigorous sexuality, and the -subtle steps of the tango. The result is a characteristically robust and varied collection which continues the vein of subtle dandyism for which Howell is renowned.
Arguably the finest collection to date by this fascinating English poet.
