Book Description:
|
Plato's Ladder is Romer's second book of poems, following his highly-acclimed Idols (Oxford, 1986). The title is an emblem of aspiration, and many of the poems explore this theme, whether in artistic endeavor or in personal relationships. These verses are more directly historical and political in tendency than his past work, but none lack the wit and philosophical scope that are hallmarks of all Romer's poetry.
