Inner Voices: Selected Poems, 1963-2003

The poems of Richard Howard are noted for their unique dramatic force and for preserving, in their graceful, exquisitely wrought lines, human utterance at its most urbane. Inner Voices , the first volume to draw together material from Howard’s twelve books of poems, leaves no doubt as to why he has been called “a powerful presence in American poetry for 40 years” ( The New York Times Book Review ).
