Recenzii

"In A Sail to Great Island a sailor explores what he can learn in isolation with nature, and a landman, rooted in his bonds to family and place, works to get past the grid of his own needs in order to explore the meaning and value of his connections. The poems begin with clearly defined contexts, but they move quickly to reach beyond the local, gathering weight and momentum as they explore with wit and sympathy the widest implications of their subjects."—Carl Dennis, Felix Pollak Prize judge and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Practical Gods

“Feldman has been building extraordinary and deeply moving poems for some forty years now, and it’s high time a magnum of champagne was cracked across the bow of a new book with his name on it. Here is a master-maker who can offer us poems that dazzle us with their beauty as they ride us through everyday real, or break our heart because they are so imaginative, so true. Alan Feldman is one of the best poets in America.“—Bill Zavatsky, winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize for Earthlight: Poems of André Breton

“Alan Feldman’s poems are sentimental in the best sense of the word: fully intelligent, closely attentive studies of how feeling colors and enriches experience. Inventive, vital, witty, and precise, this poet has a rare and deep allegiance to the life of the heart. Reading Feldman’s steady, funny, well-wrought poems reminds me how blind we are in the world; reading these poems I feel my fingertips being guided over the Braille.” —Tony Hoagland, author of What Narcissism Means to Me, and winner of the James Laughlin Award for Donkey Gospel
