The Problem of the Many by Timothy Donnelly
A powerful and highly anticipated poetry collection from prize winning American poet Timothy Donnelly
The best collection I've read in ages: every poem contains something unexpected and unexpectedly powerfulThis is serious, modern, ambitious and bold work - the kind of poetry you hope to find, and rarely do -- Nick Laird
Omnivorous, fast-forward, bull-in-a-china-shop poems that deliver more beauty per minute than can comfortably be withstood. If Whitman had had a young kid and a Brooklyn apartment, too many bills, and a stack of takeout menus in the top drawer of his Ikea desk, he would have written these poems. * New Yorker *
Donnelly is a poet everyone should read. * Guardian *
Dramatic tension, humor, lyrical profundity. This is an utterly ingenious and proudly inclusive voice . . .a sensibility so urgent we find ourselves momentarily re-inventing the term Poet. -- Carol Muske-Dukes * Huffington Post *
A Stevens of the Anthropocene -- Douglas Crase * Artforum *
