Fiction Poetry
Mark Doty's last two award-winning collections of poetry, as
well as his acclaimed memoir Heaven's Coast, used the
devastation of AIDS as a lens through which to consider
questions of loss, love and identity. The poems in his new
collection, Sweet Machine, see the world from a new,
hard-won perspective: A coming back to life, after so much
death, a way of seeing the body's "sweet machine" not simply
as a time bomb, but also as a vibrant, sensual, living
thing. These poems are themselves "sweet machines"--lyrical,
exuberant and joyous--and they mark yet another milestone in
the extraordinary career of one of our most distinguished
and accomplished poets.
