The 16 short pieces in the poet Elizabeth Dodd's Prospect at first seem only tangentially related -- for example, a history of the elm in America is set against a description of a canoeing mission that evolves into a discussion of least terns -- but Dodd succeeds in drawing the reader into the rhythm of her roving eye. — Lee Thomas
