Fire to Fire by Mark Doty

4.0

I don't generally like "selected" poems books. I prefer the depth of a single book rather than the breadth of a spattering from many books. That said there were many poems in this book that were breathtaking. I particularly liked the narrative poems about a lover dying or even the ones about dogs. There are also several New York poems, which I love. Almost all of them contain sensual descriptions of a flower or the landscape or a human body.
"Metro North" is one of my favorite poems from any poet at any time.
