Tesserae and Other Poems offers many traditional Hollander pleasures. How few of the steps recorded in this book turn out to be false ones, how little time, over the decades, has John Hollander spent trying on the current style or retuning his poetic voice.

Blue Wine and Other Poems (Johns Hopkins: Poetry and Fiction). This collection of Hollander's poetry is exquisitely crafted, as is the rule with his work. The poetry possesses a surface brilliance and a control of traditional poetic form that puts him in the company of only a few modern masters - to name some of them, Anthony Hecht and Richard Wilbur. The title poem is the center piece of this collection.

Tesserae: And Other Poems by John Hollander. The recipe for a poem-for that high art of poetry which of all verbal communications most moves us-calls for two things: mystery and mastery, strength of inspiration and integrity of form, muse and poet. It is that recipe which John Hollander prepares for us in his new volume, TESSERAE. Tesserae are those shards of brightly colored ceramic or glass that, pieced together, form a mosaic. In Hollander’s latest volume, the tesserae are 144 four-line verses, rhyming in Rubaiyat style. Yet these verses are not called rubaiyat, they are tesserae.
