Blues If You Want: Poems

William Matthews

3.8/5 ( ratings)

Blues If You Want displays the central obsessions of William Matthews as a poet: jazz, marriage, love, learning, language, and wine. His forte is a worldly, lazy lamentation on events and experience: 'This is the sweet ache that hurts most, the way / desire burns bluely at its phosphorescent core.' His cool, witty work stands up with the finest being written.
