Poetry columnist David Kaufmann pins down the labyrinthine verse of avant-garde poet Daniel Morris’s latest collection today in Tablet Magazine. Kaufmann finds it stridently secular yet undeniably Jewish: “These guys don’t speak Yiddish, to be sure,” he says of Morris’s cohort, “but they remember some of its inflections.”
