Poetry. TALL IF is Mark Irwin's sixth collection of poetry. Mark Irwin's poetry and essays have appeared widely in many literary magazines including The American Poetry Review, The Atlantic, Georgia Review, The Kenyon Review, Paris Review, Poetry, The Nation, New England Review, and the New Republic. The author of five previous collections of poetry, The Halo of Desire (1987), Against the Meanwhile, Wesleyan University Press (1989), Quick, Now, Always, BOA (1996), White City, BOA (2000), and Bright Hunger, BOA (2004), he has also translated two volumes of poetry, one from the French and one from the Romanian.
It's shame that poets like Mark Irwin aren't more widely recognized. Rather than the stale old sonnets and relatively inaccessible poetry that students are made to endure in high school and early on in college, this is the type of material they should be reading. I find it hard to believe that anyone who enjoys reading on almost any level wouldn't enjoy this book and go back to it over and over again. I'm only a casual reader of poetry but this book will absolutely move you. If it doesn't, you're dead inside.
