What one misses, for most of Leslie Norris's new collection, Mountains Pheasants Polecats and other elegies [sic], is the sense of tension creating a movement of style (117). The translations from the Welsh, however, have an energy that can carry the traditional phrasing: and in the shorter poems, particularly At Usk and Stone and Fern, essentially the same formal approach, of repeated elements shaped into a cadence, works beautifully (118).
