...Castor Bean Garden, is easily the most worthwhile item in this Mosaic, and also the most competent, well-pruned poem I have read in a Harvard publication. Sandy's intricate patterns of internal rhyme and his lush, but controlled alliteration give his poem just the the right form to complement his subject matter, which is the opposition of careful symmetry and undisciplined luxuriance.

Today the drill teams are almost more active-in regional and national competitions, before TV cameras, on the road-than the school footballers they complement. Their marching and twirling routines are in finitely more intricate than football plays, their costumes more beguiling, their pride and discipline more astonishing. For every struggling, prancing, stick-swinging, tail-twitching majorette in the nation, there are about too or so others who would give every Bobby Darin record they...
