Trade Review
"The Phoenix Poets list contains a number of poets currently on my list of favorites. This is a strong, vital series that has given voice to some of the best voices in American poetry today." - Billy Collins "The best literature forces you out of your old eyes, and that's what happens here. Atsuro Riley's Romey's Order is deep craft - brilliant and consuming and thoroughly strange. When you put this book down, American poetry will be different than when you picked it up." - Kay Ryan, United States Poet Laureate.
