Great Regulars: The better work in "Anterooms,"

however limited in quantity, is as good as anything [Richard] Wilbur has ever written, and upholds certain virtues other poets would do well to acknowledge, even if they travel roads different from the relatively straight one Wilbur has followed. In order to understand what's so interesting about these poems, it helps to recall that much of modern poetry is built on juxtaposition.
