| | Sweet Machine : Poems - Mark Doty - Used Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Mark Dotys last two award-winning collections of poetry, as well as his acclaimed memoir Heavens Coast, used the devastation of AIDS as a lens through which to consider questions of loss, love and identity. |
 | | The poems in his new collection, Sweet Machine, see the world from a new, hard-won perspective: A coming back to life, after so much death, a way of seeing the body's "sweet machine" not simply as a time bomb, but also as a vibrant, sensual, living thing. |
 | | These poems are themselves "sweet machines"--lyrical, exuberant and joyous--and they mark yet another milestone in the extraordinary career of one of our most distinguished and accomplished poets. |
