____________________
Yuganta's latest, the just-published The Slow News of Need, lays bare human reality in its infinite variety and complexity. Using a wide range of literary forms, Richard Duffee constructs, line by cutting line, angle by acute angle, a calculus designed to grasp the curvature of consciousness, not to mention, more importantly, of an outraged conscience that reviles venality and corruption.
 
In contrast to the exquisite and interminable explorations of private sensibility in the American poetry of the last fifty years—confessional, narcissistic preoccupations, often couched in linguistic mystifications—Duffee's writing, ever fresh, ever direct, ever concrete, looks outward, opening onto an expansive swath of action and reflection, of behavior and being. His passion for the human is endless. "Poetry," he says, "is the speech of living people about the most important experiences of their real lives."
