The Epistemology of Loss by Donald Wolff
Donald Wolff's The Epistemology of Loss is a work of profound beauty and searing emotional power. Nature in many of the poems offers contrast-its beauty, its utter indifference, its tendency to silence-it can represent 'the muteness of the poet, ' as Larry Levis put it. Yet the power of the book is its excavation of the domestic, how lyric time is intricately layered in it.-M.L. Williams, Author of GameThere is much to admire in Donald Wolff's The Epistemology of Loss-wit, a true and exact irony, a wry humor that does not allow the poet to escape examination, as well as the command of many forms. But the compelling feature of this poetry is its deep humanity, the risk the poems take reaching for meaning, for some portion of light that might redeem our spirits, and which is ultimately representative for us all-the mark of the best poetry.-Christopher Buckley, Editor of Naming The Lost: The Fresno Poets-Interviews & Essays
