Editorial Reviews

Praise for Mark Doty and Paragon Park

"A new book of poems – or of anything – by Mark Doty is good news in a dark time. The precision, daring, scope, elegance of his compassion and the language in which he embodies it are a reassuring pleasure."—W. S. Merwin

"If it were mine to invent the poet to complete the century of William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens, I would create Mark Doty just as he is, a maker of big, risky, fearless poems in which ordinary human experience becomes music."—Philip Levine

"With his clarity of vision and great heart, Doty stands among us as an emblematic and shining presence."—Stanley Kunitz
