“FIRE TO FIRE should solidify Doty’s position as a star of contemporary American poetry…The poems combine close attention to the fragile, contingent things of the world with the constant, almost unavoidable chance of transcendence.”
— Publishers Weekly (Boxed Signature Review by Reginald Shepherd)

“Mark Doty still finds wonder in a world of confusion and hardships...a much-needed book of new and selected older poems by Doty.”
— Time Out New York

“[Doty] uses language as a way to highlight a moment, elevate it, and unearth hidden depth and meaning...Striking imagery and a powerful imagination are two of his best tools...”
— Christian Science Monitor

“Doty is always searching for beauty in a world that can be tragic or simply mundane.”
— Newsday

“...showcases Doty’s abiding fondness for examining the human condition”
— Washington Post Book World

“Doty displays a gift for interweaving arresting image with tender narrative.”
— Slate

“Doty’s facility with his chosen form...is so natural that the craft in his work is all but invisible; he makes the damnably difficult look deceptively simple.”
— Booklist

“If words this moving do not constitute great poetry, I’d like to know what does.”
— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Doty is terrifically precise as he inspects time’s wreckage…The rhythm of his lines, its syntactical genius, propels us down the page, stopping time when necessary, making the familiar…exotic.”
— Dallas Morning News
