Talking Cures

Richard Howard

“This collection is a vivid reminder of the gifts that have made him a powerful presence in American poetry for forty years.”
—The New York Times Book Review

Howard's title is the old name for psychoanalysis and alludes to the therapeutic powers of speech under controlled circumstances. Yet a comic atmosphere pervades, and the stress falls on the second word of the title.
