An Arabesque Yes. "ode ode" by Michael Farrell. [review]

Abstract

It's easy to see why Michael Farrell already has something of a reputation as a stylist, though this is his first collection. Inventive, sharp-witted, entertaining and meticulously made, the poems in "ode ode" offer a lower-case, unpunctuated take on style in which style is energised, orchestrated substance.
