Summary:

Robert Kelly's long project in verse, filling nearly 40 collections, has shown him to be a master of intellectual energy, kinetic power and primal apprehension, with a range of interest and symbolic resonance as extensive and diverse as any contemporary poet's. Kelly's new poems in The Time of Voice are perhaps his most accessible to date, underscoring the familiar brilliance of mind and movement with a new depth of emotional understanding. This is writing that jump-stars not only the cerebrum, nerves and senses, but the feeling heart: a poetry of key moments, necessary rituals, inevitable passages, recurrent beginnings and end.
