The Tattered Cover Lower Downtown is pleased to welcome Mark Doty tomorrow night, March 19, at 7:30 p.m.Mark Doty's Fire To Fire: New & Selected Poems won the 2008 National Book Award For Poetry. He is the author of eight books of poetry, as well as the 2007 bestseller, Dog Years.
To quote W.S. Merwin: "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 of the language in which he embodies it are a reassuring pleasure."
To get myself psyched up for this event, I have been re-reading some of my favorite poems by Mark Doty. And it just so happens that one of them I read this morning is on his website. Click here to read "At The Gym".
Please come to the Lower Downtown store tomorrow night for this great chance to listen and meet one of the best poets in America today.
