<p>Praise for Mark Doty and <b><i>Paragon Park</i></b></p> <p><i>"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</i></p> <p><i>"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</i></p> <p><i>"With his clarity of vision and great heart, Doty stands among us as an emblematic and shining presence."—Stanley Kunitz</i></p>
