"Daniel Kane is the revitalising voice twenty-first century poetry needs, and Ostentation of Peacock is a full display of his transatlantic talent. Fresh, funny and visionary, this book offers the reader a real world of fantasy with the lyric grace of early Ashbery and the prophetic ambition of early Ginsberg."
Jeremy Noel-Tod
The variegated plumage of Kane s elegant, iridescent, fan-tailed poems is a constant delight. Some are indeed as ostentatious as peacocks in their pride, but others obliquely and movingly mime uncertainty, confusion, and loss. This is a gorgeous collection, and one that deserves a harmonious welcome .
Mark Ford
Fun is missing from this world everywhere; but here it is, at times pitiless but still fun. Daniel Kane s personable imagination dwells in the house of free play: a posture of meditation on the couch upon which there is ought to do but muse on things of a consequence neither relativized nor sanitized. Absolute inquiry into creatures-objects-ideas produces, in this leavened mind, a flurry of response that is a cosmos or order or harmony in a bag full of hard to categorize leaves . Not only fun has been missing, but also compassion, and that is here too, with singular freshness and poignancy .
