There is a long tradition of poetry dealing with the uncanny - think Keats' 'La Belle Dame Sans Merci' or Coleridge's 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' - and it's nice to see someone putting it to such use again. Allen's poems . . . do a fine job of making the human scary and the scary human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e-PopMatters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe literary equivalent of a Caravaggio painting, where light is bright and casts all the more shadow for its brilliance . . .
