Trade Review
Praise for Tony Hoagland:
"Tony Hoagland's imagination ranges thrillingly across manners, morals, sexual doings, kinds of speech both lyrical and candid, intimate as well as wild." - The American Academy of Arts and Letters

"Hoagland's verse is consistently, and crucially, bloodied by a sense of menace and by straight talk." - The New York Times

"Hoagland's work is refreshingly accessible without compromising sophistication or a complexity of thought." - Publishers Weekly
