- Description
- In her "Foreward" to this collection of Reece's poems (ix-xiii), Louise Glück comments on the theme of virtue in ClT as a "problem" for modern readers, "possibly because virtue unconvincingly disarms brutality." She also observes that Reece's book is not retelling of ClT, but that it does echo its concerns.
