    Extractions: Mark Doty Takes the Stage by Melanie Payton The Poet's Voice: A Reading and Discussion with Poet Mark Doty When I was a teenager I dabbled in poetry writing, filling notebooks with pathetic, sugary meditations on junior high crushes. My writing improved later, but not due to connecting with poetry I read in college. It happened after I read The Embrace by Mark Doty. I was completely moved by this poem, something I don't remember feeling during English class. Maybe I'm a late bloomer. I've been an avid reader since early childhood, but until being exposed to Doty's work, poetry never quite held my attention. When I learned that Mark Doty would be giving a reading at Cornish College of the Arts on Capitol Hill , I purchased a ticket right away. The event was part of a larger series, "The Engaged Artist," hosted to explore "the dynamic relationship between the artist and the community in contemporary American society." Featured presentations included theater, politically minded films and music, design, and poetry, each intended to show how art can be used as a sociopolitical voice and how artists can make a difference. Throughout the reading, Mark Doty's eyes were bright with feeling and his gestures animated. His voice was wonderfully expressive, a bit softer during heavier sections of a piece. He started with a couple of poems about New York City, including one from his award-winning collection

    Extractions: Mark Doty Professor Bloom reminds us of the origins of the term aesthetic in "perceptiveness"; what we make of his argument depends on just what we think "perceptiveness" means. Bloom wants to place the aesthetic in a kind of pure realm, free of social or historical pressures-in paradise, as it were, where perennial, indelible values rule: harmony, order, the subtle, infinitely pleasing, endlessly varied shadings of meaning made by the artful arrangement of words. I'm reminded of a statement of Auden's, who wrote that a poem should be "a verbal earthly paradise, a timeless world of pure play, which gives us delight precisely because of its contrast to our historical existence with all its insoluble problems and inescapable suffering " But "perceptiveness" suggests more than an acute awareness of language and form. It connotes an equally acute eye toward reality, which is for all of us a social affair, a collaboration between the interior and the external. Auden goes on to say, "At the same time we want a poem to be true and a poet cannot bring us any truth without introducing into his poetry the problematic, the painful, the disorderly, the ugly." Into the paradise of euphony, the good poet must introduce hell. Broken paradises are the only kind worth reading.

    Turtle, Swan Bethlehem in Broad Daylight. Two Volumes of Poetry by mark doty. The winner of four Praise for mark doty If it were mine  
    http://www.press.uillinois.edu/s00/doty.html
    
    Extractions: Two Volumes of Poetry by Mark Doty The winner of four major awards, including the National Book Critics Circle Award and the T. S. Eliot Prize, Mark Doty has established himself as one of the most courageous and eloquent poets of our time. This one-volume edition brings together Doty's first two published collections of poetry. Long out of print, Turtle, Swan and Bethlehem in Broad Daylight brought Doty to critical attention as the first post-Stonewall gay poet to emerge as a major voice in American letters. Stories of paradise, pageant, and fugitive peace course through these pages, lit by Doty's visions of the architecture and artifice of a lush world. Exploring the forms of remembering and inventing, Doty affirms that, from the first loss, we preserve by naming. Praise for Mark Doty: "If it were mine to invent the poet to complete the century of William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens, I would create Mark Doty just as he is, a maker of big, risky, fearless poems in which ordinary human experience becomes music." Philip Levine "This masterful poet writes elegies so full of life we find our hopes restored. Moving, splendidly observant, and unflinching, Mark Doty's poems extend the range of the American lyric poem." American Academy of Arts and Letters

In selecting it for the National Poetry Series, Philip Levine said: "The courage of this book is that it looks away from nothing: the miracle is that wherever it looks it finds poetry. . . . Mark Doty is a maker of big, risky, fearless poems in which ordinary human experience becomes music." "Doty is at the height of his powers in these beautiful and important poems." Diann Blakely Shoaf, Harvard Review "Doty's poems elegize the past and ready us for future grief, focusing intensely on the anticipated death of his lover from AIDS." Tony Whedon, Poetry East "An understated, unflinching look at life in the face of death. The poems are as courageously elegant as the achievement is grand." from the National Book Critics Circle Citation

Everything that Mark Doty touches turns to something beautiful, whether he is writing poetry or writing about art as SEEING VENICE illustrates. This tiny book would make a wonderful gift to lovers of Venice, art, poetry, Mark Doty or all of the above. In a brief essay, Mr. Doty illuminates Bernardo Bellotto's (1722-1780) Venetian painting "Grand Canal" completed when the artist was all of 19. What I find so wonderful about this little treasure is that Mr. Doty writes straightforward, unpretentious prose about a beautiful painting; and, as always, he convinces me that he is accurate in what he says. He apparently does what a lot of us do not he simply looks closely at a work of art and makes sensible observations. For example, in this painting he is not sure whether the season is spring or autumn since the artist doesn't indicate a time. "Spring, fall? No way to distinguish, not in this landscape. Do the clouds promise whether to come, or speak of turbulence passed? These boatmen, of course, would know precisely how to read them."

97. Sweet Machine : Poetry By Mark Doty, Reviewed By James Hall
    James Hall reviews mark doty s Sweet Machine, the author s latest collection of poetry, and is filled with an overwhelming urge to shop. Poetry by mark doty,  
    http://www.pifmagazine.com/vol18/review.shtml
    
    Extractions: I want to go shopping with Mark Doty. I imagine Mall of the Americas. I imagine a spree of sorts in the woody Bombay Company, in The Gap, an hour at least in Structure. But we'd avoid Express, wouldn't we? Yes. Because, if anything, Doty's lines have always trotted and never sprinted to their characteristically breathless endings. I'm too sure Mark Doty would be the perfect shopping companion; his eye craves the right color, his mind knows the perfect tapestries. But Doty would also be the most economical of shoppers. His verse (when I think of it, I always see tercets, though like any other poet his style loves other forms) packs each word in comparatively short lines. But only when one is buying consolation gifts can one think of shopping as elegy. I am not: thankfully, my metaphor runs out. But Doty's metaphors, his leaps from the prosaic to the poetic, never do.
