This book presents a definitive selection of the poetry that Paul Violi (1944-2011) published in his lifetime, as selected by his friends and colleagues, Charles North and Tony Towle. Violi is often associated with the New York School of Poetry (founded by John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and Frank OHara). However, his gift for the transformation of unpromising material TV listings, the call of a horse race, a book index, a police blotter into comic tours de force is unique. Informed by an unostentatious erudition and an extensive reading of history, Violi is at home in other modes as well. Harmatan includes concise and compelling observations about his time in the Peace Corps inNigeria. In such masterful works as The Monk of Montaudon, he maintains a gently ironic tone of what could be called a post-Romantic sublime. The breadth of Violis sensibility is second to none. This important collection should help establish his place in American poetry.
