Nemerov  \nTHE SALT GARDENPOEMS  \n# The Salt GardenHOWARD NEMEROV\n\nIn his third volume of poetry,HowardNemerov explores a variety of themes anddisplays increasing versatility of technique.Without deviating from his ironic view.ofthe world,he ranges easily from the Gothicgrotesquerie of “The Priest's Curse onDancing”to the satiric wit of \"Instructionsfor the Use of This Toy”and the subtletwentieth-century introspection of\"TheScales of the Eyes.\"Mr.Nemerov's work isdistinguished by his expert control of thetools of the poet's trade,striking a remark-able balance between the freedom of imag-ination and the restraints imposed by for-mal verse structure.  \nPoets and critics have praised THE SALTGARDEN for its accomplishment:\"Thereare some astonishingly strong and memo-rable poems which come to life at unex-pected places in this volume;where,forexample,is there better modern verse ofits length than in“I Only Am Escaped toTell Thee”?—John Crowe Ransom  \n\"These appealingly contemplative poems—and obviously they were done by anexpert—proceed by the use of an imagerythat is at once brainy and moodily sensi-tive.Nemerov has an ever-vigilant eye fornatural changes.I particularly enjoy hisways with snow and sea.And he is alwaysalert to subtleties of attitude.Only a fewmonths ago he published a novel well com-pounded of fantasy,social comedy,andapologetically intelligent brooding.Nowcomes this collection of lovely verses.Nemerov is my idea of a highly civilizedwriter.”—Kenneth Burke  \nBy Howard Nemerov  \nNovels  \n# THE
