Praise for The Paradise of Forms: Selected Poems:
" . . . it delightfully explores a melange of containers, frames, and matrices through which a poem can come to life."–Publishers Weekly
"There are lots of reasons you want to read this book. Among them: because there are quite a lot of astonishingly apt and incisive and occasionally uproarious descriptions of the subtleties of everyday life; because many of the sentences are also as perfect as English allows; because it's a wonderfully wry and roundabout guide to gay and literary San Francisco; because you actually do need to know how a person is like a flower and a flower like a person; because it also dowses for and find unexpected pleasures that we particularly need at this moment in time."–Rebecca Solnit, author of A Field Guide to Getting Lost, River of Shadows and Hope in the Dark
