Reviews

The New York Times has called Carl Dennis’s poetry “wise, original, and deeply moving.”

About the Poet

A poet with a growing audience of admirers, Dennis writes in a clear, classically simple language that is both personal and universal.

Poetry Style

Making use of a rich variety of genres—advice, meditation, elegy, and prophecy—his poems take unexpected turns as they explore their subjects, catching the reader off balance in a way that is liberating.

Collection

This new anthology gathers the best of his eight previous books along with a generous sampling of new poems.
