George Vance reviews LILITH

I am very honored to read this review published on May 1st on the

University of Arizona Poetry Center website. George Vance, a long time reader and aficianado of Beckett, really delves into his reading of the fragmented nature of Lilith in his kind reading of the book, a reading which feels thoroughly the longtime Gerard Manly Hopkins study he has also done. I feel honored to be the recipient of this "Valentine to 'Lilith'" as he has titled his article. Enjoy:
