| Description: |
The third collection of poems from the young American poet who produced "My Alexandria", "Atlantis", and the prose memoir "Heaven's Coast". For "My Alexandria", Doty won the 1995 Eliot Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the "Los Angeles Times" Book Award. |
| Synopsis: |
The three books that brought Mark Doty acclaim - the poetry collections MY ALEXANDRIA and ATLANTIS, and the prose memoir HEAVEN'S COAST - dealt unflinchingly with love and its loss. The poems in this new book are from a man transfigured and elevated by grief, and the tone throughout is one of celebration at the majesty, the impossible splendour of the living world. Whether the subject is golden retriev- ers or humpback whales, Delft tiles or Murano glass, lilacs on Third Avenue or turtles on Broadway, these are exquisite, transcendent hymnsof praise- seneuous, brilliant and thrillingly alive. |
