The Season of Delicate Hunger offers enough engaging poetry to sate one’s appetite for lively songs that amaze and delight in ways academic poetry seems to have lost. Here there’s no reaching for effect, no effort to impress, and no dead weight. Open the book anywhere and find dazzling lines. Movement is key. Reading this poetry is like ice-skating in a dream: thrilling! There’s enough variety here to satisfy many tastes. Katerina Stoykova-Klemer has assembled a world-class collection of poets, and has thereby infused American poetry with new vitality. The translations never get in the way of the originals; they are crystal, and there’s good hard cider in the glass! -Marilyn Kallet
