This new collection of poems by F.D. Reeve includes 'The Urban Stampede', a dramatic narrative in poetic form, and twentyfour lyric poems. 'The Urban Stampede' is a retelling of the OrpheusEurydice myth. It is the third such narrative from Reeve, as he attempts to rehouse grand myths from fallen cultures into the consciousness of today, seeking to show the enduring power of language itself and to bring spectator, poet, and performer together in the same place. These narratives include spoken voice and singing and are shaped by a careful underlying distancingthe basic characteristic of narrative poetry. In this way, a wellknown story is coolly evaluated for cultural change and linguistic difference. In both the long poem, which is the centerpiece of this collection, and in the shorter poems, Reeve takes risks in order to explore the meaning that poetry gives to lifean immediately apprehensible vision apt in size and shape to our idea of the world, one in which the language of hands speaks to a guiding practical faith and the language of the mind leads to understanding and delight.
