Editorial Review Product Description Why do dogs speak so profoundly to our inner lives? When Mark Doty decides to adopt a dog as a companion for his dying partner, he finds himself bringing home Beau, a large golden retriever, malnourished and in need of loving care. Beau joins Arden, the black retriever, to complete their family. As Beau bounds back into life, the two dogs become Mark Doty's intimate companions, his solace, and eventually the very life force that keeps him from abandoning all hope during the darkest days. Their tenacity, loyalty, and love inspire him when all else fails. Dog Years is a remarkable work: a moving and intimate memoir interwoven with profound reflections on our feelings for animals and the lessons they teach us about life, love, and loss. Mark Doty writes about the heart-wrenching vulnerability of dogs, the positive energy and joy they bring, and the gift they bear us of unconditional love. A book unlike any other, Mark Doty's surprising meditation is radiantly unsentimental yet profoundly affecting. Beautifully written, Dog Years is a classic in the making. |

Inconsequential "gift" book.
A Treasure Trove of Glass and Words
This Book Should Be Better The poem "Murano" though beautiful is not my favorite Doty poem. Written for his deceased poet friend Lynda Hull, the poem contrasts the permanence of Murano glass with the stench and death often associated with Venice. "Is this what becomes of art, the hard-won permanence outside of time? A struck match-head of a city, ungodly lonely in its patina of fumes and ash? Gorgeous scrap heap where no one lives, or hardly anyone." There is no need to combine pictures and poetry. One usually dominates the other. First class poetry does not need to be illustrated. (I certainly think Mr. Doty is a first class poet; his poems often bring me much pleasure. I'm also of the opinion that poetry should be read, rather than explicated. The goodpoet always says what we cannot explain very well.)Fine art does not require commentary. Books like this are difficult to pull off and seldom satisfy completely. This one is no exception. ...

Sweet Machine is not Sweet, it is bitter.
Immortal
Doty casts his spell
Lovely as a Trinket in a Pawn Shop
Broken, the better to glitter With that in mind, I think my favorite poems in the book come towards the end, when he settles down a bit.Maybe this is just more my style and sensibility.Either way, Doty shows hints of a great range and ability. His form stays pretty constant -- short lines, grouped in threes, building 2-3 page poems that have both of the sense of being long and of flying by. Here is a poet who loves language, and flaunts it -- and I mean that in the best way imaginable.While his work may not be incredibly important, thank God that not all good poetry has to be incredibly important.Here are poems of joyride and dance.Enjoy. A sample poem: CONCERNING SOME RECENT CRITICISM OF HIS WORK --Glaze and shimmer, luster and gleam, can't he think of anything but all that sheen? --No such thing, the queen said, as too many sequins. -- if you'd like to discuss these poems, or poetry, books, anything else with me, e-mail me at williekrischke@hotmail.com. ...

Editorial Review Product Description This book explores diverse but complementary interdisciplinary approaches to the poetics, intertexts, and influence of the work of C. P. Cavafy (Konstantinos Kavafis), one of the most important twentieth-century European poets. Written by leading international scholars in a number of disciplines (critical theory, gender studies, comparative literature, English studies, Greek studies, anthropology, classics), the essays of this volume situate Cavafy’s poetry within the broader contexts of modernism and aestheticism and investigate its complex and innovative responses to European literary traditions (from Greek antiquity to modernity) as well as its multifaceted impact on major figures of world literature—from North America to South Africa. Contributors include Eve Sedgwick, Helen Vendler, Dimitrios Yatromanolakis, Richard Dellamora, Mark Doty, James Faubion, Diana Haas, John Chioles, Edmund Keeley, Albert Henrichs, Kathleen Coleman, Gregory Nagy, Michael Paschalis, Peter Jeffreys, Diskin Clay, and Panagiotis Roilos. |
