Averno by Louise Glück

Quite a sustained series of poems, and quite quiet ones, too. Some very neat turns of thought (Orpheus, the field changing and moving on). Otherwise, despite the images of the revelation of something hidden, nothing that struck me with profound inspiration. But good to read, anyway; particularly enjoyed the metacriticism.
