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
