Summary: True poetry
Comment: ... So take my review for what it's worth.

Kevin's poems are evidence that there is still an excellent American school of poetry. This is not the overly sentimental whining of the angst-ridden. It is not the painful attempts of political activism. It is not the self-indulgent masturbatory fantasies of most college campuses.

It is real poetry with something to say. He experiments with form. He picks a moment and stays with it. And he uses language that is neither so plain as to be dull nor pathetic in its attempt to use shock in place of art.
