News at Eleven: [Yehoshua] November faithfully follows

the divine model, adding to it the gift of his conscious appreciation of sanctified language and of his response to it. He speaks of plain and familiar things directly; his words do not get in the way. And as he does so, we sense the sacred present in those things, or yearning to be present though presently missing. He does not veer into either of the polarities that profane poetry. He does not engage in obscurities; and he does not fail to engage the challenge of numinous mystery.
