From Glasgow to Saturn
Most of [From Glasgow to Saturn] is graduate school diddling with all kinds of neat-o stuff: science fiction, American westerns, typographic calisthenics, computer creation, voice inversion. Some of it is coffee-break cute, much of it simply silly. Remarkable are a few love lyrics scattered at the beginning of the book, two prose poems near its middle, and especially the series of ten "Glasgow Sonnets" that close it. It's a shame that such substantial achievement has been dumped in a playground as if it were no different from the seesaws.
Dabney Stuart, in a review of "From Glasgow to Saturn," in Library Journal, Vol. 98, No. 20, November 15, 1973, p. 3381.
