...have ingeniously conveyed the complexities of this massive state. One can easily understand that Texas encompasses many cults: the radical right, the untutored rich, and the confused Negro.

Her subtle internal rhymings reveal a feeling for line that is also found in parts of Robert Dawson's overlong poem about German prisoners of war in Minnesota. Portions of this...
