Leonard's Reviews > If Men, Then: Poems

Eliza Griswold has written some unforgettable books including "I Am the Beggar of the World: Landays from Contemporary Afghanistan" which I've read more than once, and The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line Between Christianity and Islam," which I should read again. This is another fine collection of poems covering a wide range of locations and subjects. The titles give you a hint of what she writes about: "Prelude to a Massacre " "Friday Afternoon with Boko Haram," "Early Middle Ages," as well as an ode to Kim Wall. With frugal lines and grim images the reader sees her memory or vision, and can only want more.
