Atlantis: Poems

Thank you!

Delivery was right on time and secure; no damage. Great service there.While I haven't read much of it yet, I was very pleasantly surprised to find my used copy has been signed by the author. Good deal.

For contemorary readers who hunger for the melody and cadence, imagery of nature, strong personal emotion, and idealism of poetry in the Romantic tradition, Mark Doty has emerged with a lyrical style reminiscent of Shelly or Keats. The most immediately appealing feature of his work is its sheer lyric loveliness. Loveliness does not stand high these days in the vocabulary of critical praise, but one only need leaf through Doty's Atlantis Poems to be reminded that it does exist and can't easily be called by another name.

Poetry itself is of a very high standard. Polished contemporary. My only criticism would be that the book itself wasn't very well packaged so the bottom of the book was crumpled.,
