After a youthful crush on Allen Ginsberg's "Howl," I discovered, somewhat to my amazement, that you could write moving poems without--well, howling. This fact hit home when I read Donald Justice's introduction to Weldon Kees's collected poem back in the late fifties. Justice called his intro "The Quiet Voice of Weldon Kees" and argued that Kees's poems were all the more moving, even startling, because they were understated and lacked hysterical breast-beating. The title of David Tucker's first book (chapbook, actually) suggests that it must be of the Justice school, and it is, though the title is more than a tone of voice tantamount to a yawn--a lot more, in fact.[3]
