Review
"Having by his third book raised the roof of the America Sublime, Doty is now concerned, like Clampitt before him, to frame doors and windows, to "detail" landscapes and outbuildings of loss which, in the ways of the Sublime, properly circumstantiated, are transformed, transcended, redeemed. A lost continent breaks through the surface, glistening still with tears, but exact, vivid, "there.""-- Richard Howard"We have already come to known Mark Doty's books as texts of passion and exactitude. "Atlantis" is this, and more. Tragedy is at its center--the death of Wally Roberts from AIDS, an event that takes place within the mindless continuum of more death--even within this book--from the ongoing AIDS plague. There is a mighty lesson in "Atlantis" and it is this--that we are helpless before fate, except in our demeanor. "Atlantis" is a book filled with the striking and graceful forms of the physical world--for beauty is the school to which Doty goes, with great courage, and certainly without irony, for comfort, sanity, and an understanding of such dark and bright things. Of course he finds no more than Keats found: a riddle. It is enough. Mark Doty has written a book that is ferocious, luminous, and important."-- Mary Oliver
