School of the Arts: Poems by Mark Doty (English) Paperback Book

The Nile on eBay   School of the Arts by Mark Doty, Distinguished Writer Mark Doty

With "School of the Arts," Mark Doty's darkly graceful seventh collection, the poet reinvents his own voice at midlife, finding his way through a troubled passage. At once witty and disconsolate — formally inventive, acutely attentive, insistently alive — this is a book of fierce vulnerability that explores the ways in which we are educated by the implacable powers of time and desire in a world that constantly renews itself.
