Title: A Thief of Strings
First published: April 2007
Description: “No poet so innovative now is more accessible, and no poet half so accessible in recent years has made the language so new.”
—<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review

“Revell is a post-Romantic, his natural imagery clear and immediate, his feelings never very far from his sleeve, his tone approaching a prayerful devotion. . .”
—<em>Library Journal</em>

“These poems make you want to read them over and over, you want so much to understand their magic, their vastness. We suddenly have a master. God bless his courage, his knowledge, his playfulness, his stubbornness, his loving attention. God pity his grief.”
—Gerald Stern
