<b><i>Salon</i>:</b> "It is by no means a slight to call Mark Doty's poetry a sublime form of interior decorating. If anything, color, surface and the particularities of light are the antidote to his harrowing subject matter: the particularities of dying....Doty turns toward the immediacy of New York street life, his slavering golden retrievers and, more importantly, his next effulgent romance....As a technician, Doty is insatiably hungry for new words, and he conducts them symphonically--if you miss the meaning, you're still carrying the tune."
