The poems in Daniel Mark Epstein's eighth poetry collection range from the kind of solid and accomplished works for which he is known to astonishing pieces that are near-spiritual encounters. Always an assured poet, Epstein employs inventive rhythms to remarkable effect in these new poems, and it often seems as if the reader is not so much reading the poems as remembering them. And with the discovery each poem brings, there is a ""shock of recognition,"" as though these elusive yet essential ideas have been present all along. The Glass House is an amazing book -- wonderful in its evocations of nature, encouraging sometimes, often elegiac and even heartbreaking.
