Impatience is a virtue

Broken Hierarchies: Poems 1952-2012 is out now, or almost.  A survey of Amazon in France and UK as well as the OUP   on-line this morning shows that it "is not yet available". . . . but there is already a review by Nicholas Lezard in the Guardian (November 20, 2013).  It's not that what is said in this review is off, but it's perhaps a bit curious that there are no page numbers? Nonetheless, before entering into any argument with the venerable reviewer, I shall endeavor to read the book itself.

The impatience to lay hands on a copy grows with the mounting buzz.  One site indicates the publication date is November 28.  That means we'll all be waiting at least four more days before it ships.
