ReviewsIn a retrospective review of Revell's work written by Stephen Burt for The Nation, he comments on Pennyweight Windows: New & Selected Poems: Revell now seeks a poetry appropriate not only to loneliness but to anger and happiness, not only to freighted symbols but to facts, not only to doubt but to faith. What's more, he seems to have found what he seeks.[3] In TIME Magazine, Lev Grossman wrote about Pennywight Windows: it takes guts to write more poems about peace, war, God and children, but Revell's are so fresh, it's as if he's the first person ever to do it. He makes you feel how painfully near grace and redemption are at all times, and yet how unattainable."[4] There is a theme here and in other reviews of Revell's recent books. Stephen Burts opens his review with a comment about how much Revell's work has changed in twenty years, noting the stylistic evolution, and the increasingly spiritual focus of Revell's work, which Grossman observes in his, and which Revell corroborates in an interview by Poets & Writers: "What's next for me? I am concerned with the governance of heaven, which is mostly silence. Living in Utah and Nevada, I take my current instruction from snow and sand. They are heavenly forms-substantial and effortless. May poems be so."[5] References1. ^UNLV - English Department Faculty 2. ^Academy of American Poets > 2004 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize Announcement {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517021612/http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/178 |date=May 17, 2008 }} 3. ^The Nation > The Revell Variations > by Stephen Burt > 04/24/03 4. ^TIME > 7 Books Of Poetry Worth Curling Up With > By LEV GROSSMAN > Sunday, Jul. 10, 2005 5. ^Poets & Writers > An Interview With Poet Donald Revell > By Nick Twemlow > 04/05/02 External links
