"These taut poems face fear and desire unflinchingly; they are poised, supple, and unnervingly alert."--Mary Szybist "Hofmann shares [Hart] Crane's formal tightness, sensuality of language, and obsession with love and history and how they relate to being modern. But to call him a mere Crane acolyte would diminish Hofmann's talents... he is taking the sexual longing that permeated Crane and laying it bare." -- Publishers Weekly "Recalling in equal parts the work of Elizabeth Bishop and James Merrill, Carl Phillips and Henri Cole, these poems nevertheless stand apart from their influences, painting with delicate strokes, simultaneously concealing and revealing their concerns.With these remarkable poems, Hofmann truly transcends the “debut” label." --American Literary Review "[Richie Hofmann] possesses an Old World eye, like a character out of Henry James, raised in our era...Hofmann's language is lush in its accuracy and sensuous in its silences. Eros hums through the poems." --The Tupelo Quarterly
