“A totally original, quintessentially American poet. Mark Halliday’s work is forever in the pleasure section of my reading life. Sad, very funny, thoughtful, honest, lyrically and formally adventurous, Halliday’s voice is whimsical-seeming and crazy-quilt on the surface; in fact, his poems tremble and reel in the fierce abrasive currents of being alive.”—Tony Hoagland

The Figure of a Man Being Swallowed by a Fish
“The Figure of a Man Being Swallowed by a Fish recalls the stature and imagination of Hart Crane’s The Bridge and William Carlos Williams’s Paterson. These elegant, erudite meditations wander ‘from Frontierland to Tomorrowland to Liberty Square’ unearthing the bedrock of our American landscape. No other poet of his generation is writing this masterfully and mindfully.”—Terence Hayes

After-Poems
A Bilingual Edition
Edited and Translated by Susan Stewart and Patrizio Ceccagnoli
“Milo De Angelis is surely among the most important Italian poets of our day, and this supple and subtle translation of his two most recent books is a gratifying event. These are poems of dense abstraction and rugged lyricism, and they come to life in grief, amid the asphalt of the poet’s native city, Milan.”—Geoffrey Brock, editor of The FSG Book of Twentieth-Century Italian Poetry

Second Edition
“Challenging and original.”—Christian Wiman, Poetry
“Particularly strong is Kinzie’s commitment to revealing the dynamics of how sounds and rhythms qualify thought units, vehicle qualifies tenor, and parallels continuously cooperate. While scholarly, this is also clear, unpedantic, and substantive.”—Library Journal
