Trade ReviewDeep Lane, [Doty’s] best work yet, is astute, contemplative and deeply moving. * Washington Post *
Mark Doty’s ninth collection displays his customary gift for emphatic observation, collapsing the distance between poet and subject to establish an observance of both secular and sexual mysteries. -- W N Herbert * Literary Review *
Full of urban romanticism, with images of delving and desire and the search for “the wild unsayable”, mixed in with wonderings about his parents. -- John Walsh * Independent *
The collection is permeated with a sense of finding depth, travelling downward and into roots. -- Charlotte Runcie * Daily Telegraph *
