Ken Tucker on David Lehman's 'Yeshiva Boys' and H. L. Hix's 'Incident Light'

We like what Ken Tucker has to say about David Lehman's Yeshiva Boys, just out from Scribner, and H.L. Hix's Incident Light (Etruscan Press): Hix's Incident Light is a "sustained feat of emotional and intellectual representation" and Lehman's Yeshiva Boys "is always bracing and tough-minded, brimming with a rare generosity." Read the complete reviews here.

Congratulations David Lehman and H. L. Hix. And a reminder: Roughly one year ago, H. L. Hix's Twenty Questions was one of our most popular features.

Radio

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark

from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
