Velocities New and Selected Poems 1966-1992

"[Stephen Dobyns'] is a more traditional style of masculinity, somewhat cool or repressed, angry, torn by constant awareness that 'we are the creatures that love and slaughter.' He is often drawn to representations of the casual violence of our time....The triumph of Stephen Dobyns' poetry may be that it keeps that sense of play intact, without denying horrors. His quirky imagination affirms by celebrating itself, if not the dark and clouded world."Dobyns, Stephen is the author of 'Velocities New and Selected Poems 1966-1992', published 1994 under ISBN 9780140586510 and ISBN 0140586512.
