"This dark, magnificent poem by John Silkin, full of extraordinary imagery, language and rhythm in our opinion carries his art to a fresh height. It presents a new depth in his exploration of Jewish themes, and combines them with more personal matters in a way reminiscent of the Wasteland, though the actual techniques used are very different from Eliot's."
