		Thomas Lux is America’s most unusual miniaturist of despair.
		We are here for an instant, Lux suggests, and it may just be up to a snake to decide whether we live or die; either way, the maggots await us all.
		Even more disturbing than the violence Lux depicts between men is his vision of our relationship with the animal kingdom.

		With empathy and insight, Joy Harjo and Thomas Lux explore disparate American geographies and inheritances.
		Thomas Lux has been compared, often, with Whitman; Whitman who reminds us that "latent in all great users of words must be all passions, crimes, trades, animals, stars, sex, God, the past, might, space, metals, and the like." That's Whitman's job description for the poet.
		Lux has, as Whitman prescribes, catalogued a plenitude in his over fifteen collections.

		Another weakness is Lux's confusion of ambiguity for mystery: "something ungathered,/ sleep after sleep,/ for you, the last cough.../ I'm certain?sleep after sleep." Additionally, many of the poems end artificially with non sequiturs.
		Lux could have strengthened this collection by including work from more recent volumes.
		The Characteristics of Lux's style are evident: the juxtapositions of the comic and the profound, the originality of an inventive voice that continues to probe exactly where it hurts, the fascination with the macabre--in short, a wit both antic and dark.

	The Inkwell: Poetry Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Thomas Lux is not a highbrow or quiet poet.
		Often this organic separation is literal, as in his poem, “Tarantulas on the Lifebuoy." Lux relates to the predicament of tarantulas fallen into a swimming pool, and he desires to save them, to press empathy into the animal kingdom, in effect bridging the gap between Darwinian survival of the fittest and human emotion:
		Thomas Lux, finally, does not stay long in the beauty of the organic; his later poems include the underside of what might be called trailer-park- trash, as seen in “Autobiography,” a ripping and darkly funny monologue of a hick brother whose relatives are all in jail.

		The Los Angeles Times praises Lux for his "compelling rhythms, his biting irony, and his steady devotion to a craft that often seems thankless." As Sven Birkerts noted, "Lux may be one of the poets on whom the future of the genre depends."
		Thomas Lux is at it again with another collection of insipid poems.
		Lux is quite a worker, though, and I will snatch up his next collection with unrelenting ardor.

	Poetry
		Lux must have found a method while writing the previous eighteen collections: for all his crankiness and swagger, he whisks each of the poems down the page with inveterate ease, like Johnny Carson swinging his invisible chipping wedge.
		The poems are set speeches: their odd images or turns of phrase glimmer for moments then disappear as Lux glides on toward his desired effect.
		And Lux shows some promising instincts here: his exaggerated speechifying and his extended syntax strike a contrast with his basic subject matter.

		Crack a spine and you'll be confronted with an ode to the virgule, or to the limbic system, or a poem simply titled "Commercial Leech Farming Today," that is, refreshingly, about commercial leech farming today.
		Lux's latest collection, The Cradle Place, has poems devoted to national impalement statistics, to the ice worm, to the dung beetle.
		More impressive than the range of Lux's poetic feelers, however, is the way in which he distills these subjects into the original and striking metaphors that run through his disarming poems.

		In the past 30 years, Lux traveled from surrealism and back.
		We are here for an instant, Lux suggests, and it may just be up to a krait to decide whether we live or die.
		Though he claims recovery from surrealism, "The Cradle Place" reads like the work of a man who's fallen off the weirdness wagon but must work hard to keep things tangible.

	Poetry
		In contrast to Lux, Campion seems to hold up the modernists as poets suitably obscure and dry, but "Prufrock," "Sweeney Among the Nightingales," and other of Eliot's poems are full of humor, while Stevens was always chuckling and slapping his knee.
		His idea of accessibility is that the poem should be an act of communication, while the comic elements in his poems are often employed with great seriousness.
		Fortunately, Lux hasn't fallen into that trap, but gone the far subtler route of embedding compelling observation in everyday speech.
