"enjoying the new ones, fun to see which poems are selected from previous books which I've read...
couldn't stop reading, opening 50 pp of new poems show his skill and continued evolution; enjoyed re-reading earlier poems as well; SWEET MACHINE collection from 10 yrs ago is still a favorite & a favorite poem is 'Heaven for Paul" from the 2005 SCHOOL OF THE ARTS...
many other favorites including his dog poems, something I thought I'd never like..Doty's voice is incredible, it vibrates the page"
"I have a love hate relationship with this book. As for the new poems, some of them are really beautiful. My favorites were "Pipistrelle," "The Word," "In the Airport Marshes," "Apparition (favorite poem)," "Citizens" and "And Angel of Prague." However, I was not in love with the 11 poems whose titles began with the word "Theory." As to the selected poems from old books-I liked the poems from Atlantis (1995) the best. I also enjoyed many from My Alexandria (1993) and from Sweet Machine (1998). Some of his poems in School of the Arts (2005), particularly The Vault where he grotesquely uses an allusion to my favorite poem, "The Blessing" by James Wright, bothered me a lot."
"Mark Doty's National Book Award winning collection of new and selected works cements him as one of America's best poets. Poems about love, grief, longing, humor, and everyday life."
