Heisenberg Variations

Winner of the Helen C. Smith Memorial Award for the Best Book in Poetry, Texas Institute of Letters John Briuth treats the world with extraordinary wit and subtle humar-rare enough qualities in much twentieth-century poetry. Bricuth writes with gusto on a variety of subjects, from the act of writing poetry to the lives of Glenn Miller and Laurel and Hardy. His rare command of verse forms and wide range of tone make his work a distinctive addition to contemporary American poetry.
