Mark Doty

Riva Castleman

Anne Hoy

Back when they were both very young, Godine had the honour of publishing the first two poetry books of Mark Doty, who has since gone on to considerable and deserved fame and fortune, winning the National Book Award for Poetry in 2008, as well as honours from the National Book Critics Circle, the LA Times Book Prize, a Whiting Award, and (as the first American in its history) the T. S. Eliot Prize. Here, reset and containing almost two dozen poems that appeared in small magazines but have never before been collected, are the complete texts of TURTLE, SWAN AND BETHLEHEM IN BROAD DAYLIGHT to which Doty has contributed a new introduction. Essentially a new book, and important both for its history and its new inclusions.
