Marvelous reading.” * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003e“Davis’s poems exemplify Auden’s definition of the art as ‘the clear expression of mixed feelings.’ With a sly, self-deprecating wit, a wisdom that spurns bombast, they are charming, as well as intelligent, so clear and deftly controlled that a reader might overlook the ‘mixed feelings’ that they express, the disquiet and passionate ambivalence.” * Virginia Quarterly Review *\u003cbr\u003e“This volume is a perfect example of (Swallow Press\/Ohio University Press’s) ability to find and publish the best of the genre. Davis has an uncanny knack of making amazingly accurate observations of seemingly everyday events.... Highly recommended.” * The Oklahoma Observer *\u003cbr\u003e“The pleasures it offers readers are rich and varied.” * The Hudson Review *","brand":"MJ - Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862979150167,"sku":"9780804010887","price":27.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804010887.jpg?v=1759919264","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-trick-of-sunlight-9780804010887","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
