About this title: A memoir by the poet Mark Doty (winner of the 1993 National Book Critics Circle Award for "My Alexandria") about the death of his lover from AIDS.

"This is one of my absolute favorite books of all time! I read it in a theological studies seminar back in my undergrad days, and if you need any indication that LMU is more of a liberal Catholic school, you can consider that I was reading this beautiful book, about a gay man whose lover is dying of AIDS, as part of the course curriculum."
"I read this book last winter, having a fondness for Doty's lyrical poetry and prose, and having thoroughly enjoyed "Dog Years." I can say this is truly one of the most devastatingly sad stories I've ever read, one too close to home for anyone who has ever cared for a terminally ill loved one and watch them slowly fade away. Doty's longtime partner died of AIDS in the 1990s: his story is based on the couple's final years together and is, at times, difficult to read. Nothing is sugar-coated here, and in this memoir, the deceased isn't canonized, but portrayed in a realistic manner. Still, the love is apparent within Doty's gorgeous writing, what a fantastic tribute to a loved one lost. But I would not recommend reading this if you're feeling depressed."
"As an annual vistor to Provincetown, I make a point of reading works by local authors. This is my first by Mark Doty, who is a poet and lost his partner to AIDS in the early 90's. It's a weaving of his life and loss during that time."
