Reviews"Richard Howard is an indispensable, unique poet, whose work instructs by delighting, and delights by instructing. This volume vindicates a lifetime's imaginings, and establishes him as Robert Browning's authentic heir at rendering the inner voices of the cultural past and present." --Harold Bloom "If there is a literary paradise where one could imagine Baudelaire and Browning, Auden and Henry James, James Merrill and Gautier amiably conversing and declaring their views and tastes to one another, one would expect to hear the name of Richard Howard raised with warmth and enthusiastic satisfaction--for his deftness, his wit, his incomparable copiousness, his vast range of subjects and his burnished intelligence. He has achieved a stature of eminence as a poet beyond challenge or dispute. Inner Voices is a wonder." --Anthony Hecht "Here is a long-awaited and meticulously chosen selection of the work of one of our few poetic masters. The inner voices are those of Howard's sublime discursive inventions, notional speakers shaped from the stuff of historical ones and vice versa. In them, we hear the cadences of love, betrayal, painful knowledge and gratified accomplishment in the poet's finely crafted formulation, which remains as powerful a mode of expression as a shot or a swooping gesture. This is an art that glitters with wit, ingenuity and the evidence of unique rhetorical skill, that glows with imaginative energy." --John Hollander Praise for Richard Howard's Poetry: "[Howard] has evolved a language and a range of tone beholden to none but the voices of his own creations." --Harper's "We have to return to Jarrell or look at the Anthony Hecht of Venetian Vespers to find an equal to Richard Howard's poetry." --Stephanie Rauschenbusch, American Book Review

SynopsisThe poems of Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Howard are noted for their unique dramatic force and for preserving, in their graceful, exquisitely wrought lines, human utterance at its most urbane. Here, in the first volume to draw together material from Howard's twelve books of poems, readers can fully appreciate the erudite nuances of his lyric poetry and the superb human and historical bravura of his dramatic monologues and imagined conversations among famous figures. Inner Voices leaves no doubt as to why Howard has been "a powerful presence in American poetry for 40 years" (The New York Times Book Review).
