Man Years - Sandra Doller

Praise for Man Years

Sandra Doller is a pinball wizard, her attention to ricocheting through America's flashy dystopias where, as she points out, "The award goes/to the inventor of the situation/we're now in." We pose briefly in the "trauma tutu we've toted" and then we're off again "like a Bumstead falling down a stair." If you're looking for "rested totality," you won't find it. Man Years keeps you up and ready for anything

~ RAE ARMANTROUT

A bed of surprises, elegant as a pratfall in a padded ping-pong parlor: 23 things to crunch (squeak, pelt, verse), 6 ways to rebound, 101 reasons for copious allure, & 13—count 'em—types of ambidextrosity. The knack in these poems is you. "I truly cannot imagine anyone, and I mean ANYONE, hating this movie." Shall we dance?

~ CHARLES BERNSTEIN
