Hill, at Last

Thanks to Dave Lull for passing along a link to Adam Kirsch's review of Without Title, by Geoffrey Hill, in today's New York Sun. I ordered the book more than a year ago from England, Hill's native land, but only now has it been published in his adopted home, the United States. We can be grateful to Yale University Press for bringing it to American readers, even with a price tag of $26. For several years, Hill had been without an American publisher. It's a scandal that the greatest poet of the era has been treated so shabbily.
