Summary: A poet to speak for a generation
Comment: Los Angeles' insight into Chiasson's poetry is as vapid as one would expect from a TV town review of a significantly elevated art form. Moreover, dropping Pinsky's name in so disparaging a manner merely highlights the writer's (liberally described) underlying insecurity as critic. Witwer lands much closer to the mark. This book is a harbinger of great things to come from a new and remarkable poet.

Rating: 1
Summary: Lacking something
Comment: This poet has a firm grasp of poetic technique, but needs something more powerful to accompany it. (It's the same problem that plagued Pinsky's first book. Still, he grew out of it, and maybe Chaisson will, too.)

Rating: 5
Summary: Recommended
Comment: Dan's poems are richly imagined and beautifully written. "Leverett Circle" stands out as a touching and deeply humane masterpiece. Check it out: http://www.poems.com/leverchi.htm.
