Paperback: 192 pages (February, 1999) Houghton Mifflin Co (Pap) Reading this collection one gets a sense of how Lux has changed over the years and how those changes have affected his poetry.

Massachusetts : Ten Poems

Paperback; Pym Randall Pr (December 1981)

The Drowned River

Paperback; Adastra Pr (January 1993) You will be impressed with how the author takes ordinary things we see and experience in life and turns them into profound reflections. The ordinary is transformed into the extra-ordinary. His use of words calls us to attention of the familiar and demands that we move beyond the surface of what we see.

The Blind Swimmer : Selected Early...

Paperback: 64 pages; Adastra Pr (December, 1996) This selection of poems...makes available a valuable addition to the Lux canon. The Characteristics of Lux's style are evident: the juxtapositions of the comic and the profound, the originality of an inventive voice that continues to probe exactly where it hurts, the fascination with the macabre--in short, a wit both antic and dark. (Tina Barr, Harvard Review, Spring 1997)
