Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: Mark Doty's last two award-winning collections of poetry, as well as his acclaimed memoir Heaven's Coast, used the devastation of AIDS as a lens through which to consider questions of loss, love and identity. The poems in his new collection, Sweet Machine, see the world from a new, hard-won perspective: A coming back to life, after so much death, a way of seeing the body's "sweet machine" not simply as a time bomb, but also as a vibrant, sensual, living thing. These poems are themselves "sweet machines"--lyrical, exuberant and joyous--and they mark yet another milestone in the extraordinary career of one of our most distinguished and accomplished poets. About the AuthorMark Doty has received many honors for his poetry, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, a Whiting Writers' Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers' Award. A National Book Award finalist and two-time recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship he is the only American poet to have won Britain's T.S. Eliot Prize. The author of three prose volumes — Heaven's Coast, Firebird, and Still Life with Oysters and Lemon — he teaches in the graduate program at the University of Houston. Mr. Doty lives in Houston and in Provincetown. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
