Poetry. THE DUST, J.R. Solonche's twenty-first book of poetry, is a worthy addition to his oeuvre. In poems like Purple Crocus, Skunk Cabbage, Opossum, There Is an Insistent Green, Such a Noise in the Woods, and many others, his eye for the natural detail is as keen as ever. And his celebrated wit has never been sharper than in A Shotgun, The Beast and Beauty, The Attainment of Entertainment, Bad Botanical Garden, Fifty-Five Poems Starting with Lines by Emily Dickinson, and The Devil's Villanelle, which alone is worth the price of admission.
