Doubles by Robert Polito

Doubles by Robert Polito

Doubles is at once tough-minded and urbane, veering from lyricism to street slang, oscillating with the beat of the American city. As his title suggests, Polito's world is one of doubling, simulation, impersonation, and mimicry--a shrewd vision of urban life.

The Poetry Foundation in Chicago is led by Robert Polito. Doubles, also published by the University of Chicago Press, is his first book. He was the director of the New School Graduate Writing Department, and his biography of novelist Jim Thompson, Savage Art, won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
