A collection of dark and lyrical poetic works by the award-winning author of My Alexandria focuses on the ways in which humans are educated by time and desire, in a volume that ruminates on how works of art and literature reflect an inevitability of despair.

"Mark Doty is one of the major figures in contemporary American poetry, and a new book from him is always an event" (John Killick The North)
"The American poet Mark Doty dissents from the assumption that a plain style is more truthful than an elaborate one. Some poets are hypnotised by language and get caught flat-footed, but Doty is witty and quick... Wonderful" (Alan Marshall Daily Telegraph)
"Bishop's influence is apparent in Doty's shape-shifting, peripatetic style, his careful accumulation of sharply observed detail. While Doty has inherited from James Merrill, he shares somethign of the Bishop/Moore fondness for eccentric syntax, as well as their strength of phrasing" (Catriona O'Reilly Times Literary Supplement)
"Doty’s is a land of plenty, his poems celebrate abundance" (Colm Toibin London Review of Books)
A new collection from one of America's most popular poets.
