Title: An Exquisite Journey Through Grief and Beauty
Review: Atlantis by Mark Doty is an evocative collection that masterfully navigates the depths of love, loss, and renewal. Each poem is a lyrical exploration, offering a poignant elegy to Doty's partner, Wally, and reflecting on the fragile beauty of life amidst the backdrop of the AIDS crisis. The rich imagery and emotional resonance make this book a touching and memorable read. Doty's ability to find profound meaning in the natural world and personal experience is both heart-wrenching and beautifully redemptive.

Title: The new Romanticism
Review: 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.

Title:
Review: 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.,
