Great Regulars: [Christian] Wiman's voice contains great

authority. It ranges and shifts across the collection but is always honest, always reaching unflinchingly further. And he is simply masterful with language. There is scarcely a weak line or false note in the whole book, and his poems brim full of sound-beauty; you can feel the words on your tongue.
