Poetry. A book of ruthless poise, LATEST VOLCANO masters form and forms--pantoum, sestina, terza rima, narrative, elegy--well- suited to its wily protagonist, Eros. A canny figure, unabashed by war or fidelity, in league with cruelty and memory, Eros, somewhat at the expense of the poet, evolves a wild, patient, don't-mess-with-me self- knowledge. Stay still and love/ fades... she says; but you, are you to move on? Loop back? Dance for your life? Well, all of those.--Stephanie Strickland
