Description
School of the Arts is a school that teaches poetry. Mark Doty's seventh collection of poems is dark, graceful, and vulnerably alive. Doty reinvents his own voice at midlife, finding his way through a troubled passage. The poems are witty and disconsolate--formally inventive, acutely attentive, insistently alive. The book explores the ways in which we are educated by the implacable powers of time and desire in a world that constantly renews itself.

At once witty and disconsolate -- formally inventive, acutely attentive, insistently alive -- this is a book of fierce vulnerability that explores the ways in which we are educated by the implacable powers of time and desire in a world that constantly renews itself.
