Otherhood cover

Written in the spaces between otherness and brotherhood, Otherhood combines traditional lyricism with experimentalism, passionate engagement with cold-eyed investigation, and personal details with a depersonalized distance to create a new poetic synthesis.

Brilliant and elegiac.... A writer always conscious of the shadowy borders where myth and history-his own and Western civilization's-mingle.-Marilyn Hacker; ""Shepherd continues the mining-making mine-of classical texts and textures which has been for so long his forte.... No poet of his generation brings more intelligence, passion, wit, and necessary madness to poetry.""-Bin Ramke; ""True poets give gifts. Reginald Shepherd gives his readers the interest of the world.... Shepherd's book is a Song of Songs.""-Allen Grossman
