Praise for August Kleinzahler: "[Kleinzahler's] scope is large, his diction wildly exact, his line inventive, his means varied, and he never condescends." --Maureen N. McLane, "The New York Times Book Review""" "Erudite, restless, intellectually curious, alert to what goes on around him from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning, [Kleinzahler] brings to mind Frank O'Hara . . . Wonderful." --Charles Simic, "The New York Review of Books""" "Kleinzahler mixes the pungent and the delicate, the literary and the colloquial, to create a fine, technicolor-like excess." --John Palattella, "The Los Angeles Times""Kleinzahler is perhaps America's most linguistically gifted poet . . . Exquisitely fresh." --John Freeman, "San Francisco Chronicle"
"[Kleinzahler] is, first and last, a craftsman, a maker of lines . . . He never says more than he should . . . and keeps his focus not on the man who speaks the poems . . . but on what that man sees and on what he can hear."--Stephen Burt, "The New

This book had a good review in the literary press, which is why I bought it. Faber editions are also such wholesome, well edited, quality products. Kleinzahler is a poet I know a little from magazines but this full-fat selection provided an enjoyable overview of his formal range and textures spanning several UK published collections. Some poems connected instantly, others locked me out a little bit with their surrealism but remain interesting for their playfulness and linguistic ingenuity. His language is sometimes archaic or overtly clever, but often pared and crisp with a modern, urban sensibility.I found the collection instantly satisfying and eminently re-readable. Some of his poems have already established themselves on my favourites list.
