Description
That cheering you hear is the blessèd in the Elysian fields rejoicing that at last there's a poet worth reading once again. Allen Tice has informed poise and wit in a time that has almost forgotten such qualities. A classical temperament in an age of ketchup and supermodels, he has language, and languages, and the riches of poetry, at his fingertips. These poems simply fizz with the fun of it all.
Michael Hulse
Tice's literary translations combine grace with wit and sober style with sparkle while also capturing the seriousness that underlies the ease of flow in a Horace or a Sappho. Verve and dash lend pace and color to Tice's verses, but only as further adornments to his Muse's defining gravitas.
