The poems in The House on Boulevard St. were written within earshot of David Kirbys Old World masters, Shakespeare and Dante. From the former, Kirby takes the compositional method of organizing not only the whole book but also each separate section as a dream; from the latter, a threepart scheme that gives the book rough symmetry. Longlined and often laughoutloud funny, Kirbys poems are ample steamer trunks into which the poet seems to be able to put just about anythingthe heated restlessness of youth, the mixed blessings of selfimposed exile, the settled pleasures of home. As the poet Philip Levine says, The world that Kirby takes into his imagination and the one that arises from it merge to become a creation like no other, something like the world we inhabit but funnier and more full of wonder and terror. He has evolved a poetic vision that seems able to include anything, and when he lets it sweep him across the face of Europe and America, the results are astonishing.
