Review of Sean O’Brien’s book, The Drowned Book. The review focuses on the imagery of water in these poems, which is not the “furious devout drench” of Larkin’s poem “Water” but more typically a gooey ooze, bringing with it disease and pollution. The best poems have a disturbing visionary force, which is perhaps due in part to the poet’s recent engagement with the poetry of Dante.
