What Is the Grass Walt Whitman in My Life

Praise for Mark Doty:
"One of the things that has been constant about Mark Doty's work, poetry, and prose is his intense search for the exact word or phrase, of whatever issue, which lead him (and us) into the very furnace of meaning within the human story."


- Mary Oliver
"Doty's gorgeous prose and piercing meditations...are simply sublime."


- Washington Post Magazine
"His exacting, sensuous language resonates far beyond, as well as deeply into, the personal sphere."


- Los Angeles Times
