News at Eleven (Back Page): Most of the poets had to write

their verses backward from mirror images. Still, it's the script that drives "21 Etchings and Poems." Dylan Thomas's "The Hand That Signed the Paper Felled a City," a screed against unbalanced political power, is written in a squat, curling hand. Peter Grippe's images spring from that gestural language. At the bottom, a giant, meaty hand prods and holds packs of small, inert bodies; a mushroom cloud rises along one margin.
