 Alive Together - New and Selected Poems by Lisel Mueller, Review by Bobby Matherne
While writing to a friend of mine about Tolkien's work recently, I quoted Lisel Mueller, saying Tolkien only "wanted to write a tale to tremble by." That quote is from Mueller's poem about Mary Shelley (see below) which appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review way back in the summer of 1976.
Mary Shelley was a Tolkien in her time and Mueller does a magnificent job encapsulating Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley's life.
To close out the review, read Lisel Mueller's poem and let the voice of Mary Shelley reach you across the two centuries which now divide us from her life.

 [minstrels] Not only the Eskimos -- Lisel Mueller
The danger here is that the poem descends into mere boring repetition, a shopping list of definitions.
Fortunately for us, Ms Mueller avoids the pitfall adroitly, with unexpected metaphors ("rabbinical snow" is my favourite), literary and historical references, and (at the very end) an unabashed appeal to nostalgia.
Notice how the descriptions become steadily more allusive as the poem goes on; this adds to the impact of what would otherwise have been a rather predictable ending.
