	Review of Glyn Maxwell's The Nerve, Robert Darling
		Herbert and Hollins), Glyn Maxwell wrote that "Poetry is decoration of the breath with stirrings of the mind." This commitment to the spoken voice has been apparent in Maxwell's work from the beginning.
		Maxwell is increasingly concerned with perception, how the self views and re-views the world, how language helps or hinders one's dealing with reality.
		Maxwell makes use of various stanzaic patterns and rhyme schemes, as was typical of his work from the beginning.

	The Breakage - Glyn Maxwell
		Maxwell does not get bogged down in any of this -- contemporary life and free verse are here in ample supply as well -- but it remains a notable presence.
		Maxwell does a great deal in this collection, offering verse that is serious as well as verse that is light.
		English poet Glyn Maxwell was born in 1962.

	Dogsticks: Poetry - Simon Armitage and Glyn Maxell: Moon Country
		Maxwell's verse could hardly form a sharper contrast: angular and intellectually up-front, it in the past has occasionally been stylised to the point of sterility; but its exposure here to Iceland's other-worldly geography underpins it with a remote and sometimes beautiful rawness.
		This is in two strands, a diary by Armitage, and a three-act verse drama by Maxwell, and it is fair to say that both have their weaknesses.
		Armitage's facetious rechristening of himself and Maxwell as "Petersson" and "Jamesson" jars somewhat, while his prose, for all its humour and sharp description (driving to Heathrow via the M25 he is "like a steel ball into a roulette wheel"), somehow lacks the flow and finish he manages so effortlessly in his poems.

	EP&M Online Review, Glyn Maxwell
		One of Maxwell's great abilities is his knack for catching speech patterns; he is one of the best answers to critics who claim form is a corruption of natural speech.
		Maxwell's narrative abilities are best on display in "Tale of a Chocolate Egg" which satirizes the pernicious influence of modern advertising.
		The poem is written in couplets, a pattern that Maxwell breaks once in the middle of the poem when he strands a single line to highlight the movement from the pool to the site of the battle, a movement that quickly returns to the pool.

	Books \| And for my next trochee...
		Here, the voice of Maxwell's other major influence, Robert Frost, is to the fore in poems that reflect his adopted New England landscape: "Night fell on afternoon, which had been slow / as herded animals, with their deep feelings..." ("A Winter Evening").
		And it's all a far cry from the clever conceits and engaging silliness that were the hallmarks of Maxwell's style when he first came to prominence in the early 1990s as one of the so-called New Generation poets, along with the likes of Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy.
		Again, it's all in the weight of the line: the use of enjambment, the placing of the caesuras, the variation between iamb and trochee ("my eye, hang like") all heighten the drama towards the decisive shift between personal memory and public memorial, where naming is subsumed by silence.

		Maxwell is a wonderful writer who would never dream of inflicting tedium on his readers under the cover of literary experimentation.
		Maxwell is clearly aware of, and sometimes even plays up to, the cryptic, riddle-like quality of his writing.
		Reading a Glyn Maxwell poem is like eating caviar; reading a Glyn Maxwell verse novel is like eating a bucket of caviar.

		So I was surprised again when, after the usual laudatory introductions, Maxwell was introduced as a resident of Amherst, Massachusetts.
		Maxwell seemed initially to be a somewhat nervous reader.
		Before this reading, my acquaintance with Maxwell’s work was limited to his earliest poems, some of which, as he has himself admitted, are formally tight to the point of obliquity, and a sort of surreal terseness.

		Also, I'm impressed with Maxwell's use -- in the traditions of Robert Frost, Edward Thomas and the World War I poets -- of simple language.
		In his book Maxwell basically holds to two different styles: the first is a more tightly controlled style, mostly iambic tetrameter, like in his opening poem "The Breakage:"
		Maxwell is taking a form that really seems to be becoming a formality, and using it to his advantage, and besides that, he does it very well.

	What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Poetry: Some Aporias of Literary Journalism
		As for the memorability criterion, which Maxwell puts forward as if it were the second law of thermodynamics, this criterion allows for neither free verse (hard to memorize!), nor prose poetry or visual poetries--all of them very prominent and exciting today.
		Maxwell doesn't like the concept of the movement or school, which animates Reinfeld's discussion of language poetry, but he never bothers to investigate if the poets in question--Bernstein, Howe, Michael Palmer, Lyn Hejinian, Clark Coolidge, Ron Silliman-- do, in fact, constitute one.
		Maxwell's is thus a review that blithely ignores the facts, not to mention the poetic principles involved.

		He tries in vain to break the spell by way of true love, repentance, hedonism; he tries to change the world and he tries to die.
		Characters move in and out of Maxwell's story like Dante's figures in Hell, but Edmund's own Virgil is a careless and unhelpful poet, a portrait of the author as a student.
		The tale is told in formal terza rima, but its language and tone, its humor and sense of homesickness, are decidedly contemporary.

	Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - The Forever Waltz - 3/12/05
		In Maxwell’s twisted version, a man (Joshua Spafford) referred to as “Mobile” finds himself in an unknown place, mysteriously unable to remember his name or what he has come there for.
		Don’t worry, this is not Maxwell’s “it was only a dream!” cop-out moment, but instead is used to shuttle the audience back in time to when Evie and Mobile (real name: John) were both very much alive.
		Here is when Maxwell and director Elysa Marden wisely choose to downplay the blatant ethereal qualities of the preceding section and focus on unraveling the true history of John and Evie’s relationship on its way to the fatal wedding day.
