	"Firebird: A Memoir" by Mark Doty - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Doty's lyrical re-creation of the Southwest's parched landscape is one of the book's enormous pleasures: The city of Tucson, with its creosote-scented twilights, dry arroyos and dust storms, becomes another character.
		As Mark grows older, wrestles with his sexuality and explores the world of art -- dance, music, painting, crafts and, later, poetry -- a kind of rigor mortis sets in to his parents' marriage, and his mother's drinking problem escalates until she loses her sanity.
		In "Firebird," Mark Doty has elevated the story of his troubled family to the stature of myth, and in the process he has written an American classic.

	Stauder, "Darkness Audible: Negative Capability and Mark Doty’s 'Nocturne in Black and Gold'", Romanticism and ...
		Doty’s comment on the beginning of "Endymion" is only a page and a half long with two additional pages of illustrations, one of the first manuscript page of Keats’s poem and the other, a deathbed portrait of Keats by Severn, addressed to John Taylor from Rome, January 21, 1825.
		Doty sees into that veil "between this life and the next, / now and ever" (101), his acts of description marking the temporal locus of the body, even as it moves into a nowhere, an obscurity, that is, by conventional definition, beyond language.
		Yet her second act aria to which Doty refers is one of the most treasured standards of operatic literature, full of vocal complexity and demands, as well as beauty.

	Mark Doty (2) - December 1998 Feature
		Literary style is a sort of costuming; and writing marked by a gay sensibility is always concerned with allowing us to read beneath the often gorgeous elements of surface to the bare, desiring body beneath.
		Merrill is the perfect example; his grace and allusiveness and formal elegance is far more than a kind of elaborate theatrical get-up.
		In an age marked by homogenization, by the manipulation of desire on a global level (the Gap in Houston is just like the Gap in Kuala Lumpur, it seems), poetry may represent the resolutely specific experience.
