Eve Castle’s Reviews > The Good Thief > Status Update

I’m a slow reader of full length poetry. I prefer to read a poem out loud first - and so I need to be home alone. I should rethink this or I’ll never get through my endless poetry shelves. The Good Thief, 1988, is Howe’s 1st published collection. Of 17 poems I’ve read so far I have 4 marked as favorites. I’ve yet to find that one unforgettable poem . . . It may not be in this early collection.
