Poetry. "The figure of the infant Moses-child of slavery, exile,
captivity; lying in an ark of woven bulrushes 'daubed... with
slime'--is the figure for this remarkable collection. 'Bring on the
damn swans, ' the book begins, as poem by poem it strips away 'art'
to uncover beauty, and we find the grounds for belief, for in
Madonick's hard reckoning we discover that, like the prey's
vulnerability to the predator, we are nonetheless 'as good as
danger is.' Through extraordinary range and mastery of diction and
music, Madonick pits the confusions and destructions of the
present, both natural and human, against the consolation and tested
experience of lyric. And lyric wins--for BULRUSHES is poetry
itself, that fragile ark of language in which hope is
borne."--William Wenthe
