The 'Tribute' paid in Stephen Romer's third collection of poems is divided between homage and exaction. As in his previous books, Idols and Plato's Ladder, much turns on the question of idealization, experienced as emotional necessity in the face of love, that 'terrible crystallization'. This is an outstanding collection, elated in tone, and beautiful.
Writing on Romer's earlier work, Thom Gunn remarked on the 'wide range of interests which opens up the imagination to mythologies of the mind'; Tribute constitutes a witty and moving amplification of those mythologies.
