The Traveler's Calendar: New Poems, by Daniel Mark Epstein (Overlook Press, 112 pp., $24.95)

Collected Poems: 1952-1999, by Robert Mezey (Arkansas, 304 pp., $22)

Readers will have noticed that National Review has been publishing serious poetry for nearly a year. Among the poets are Daniel Mark Epstein and Robert Mezey.

The distinguished poet Donald Hall has written of Daniel Mark Epstein, winner of the Prix de Rome, that he has "a vision as tortured and powerful as early Robert Lowell." Would you like to be described in this way? Probably not; Lowell was, after all, insane. But in Epstein's case, the comment resonates as praise: In his poems, moments of danger shimmer with heroic light. In "The Lion Tamer at 2:00 A.M.," for example, Epstein takes on the voice of a circus ringmaster:

The crowd is always on the lion's side

Against the man with the whip.

They wish the spangled girl would slip
