Dean Young is the author of two previous books of poetry, Design With X and Beloved Infidel, both from Wesleyan. He has received fellowships from Guggenheim, the National Endowment for the Arts, Stanford University, and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. His poems have appeared in a wide variety of national magazines and in 1993 and 1994 won inclusion in The Best American Poetry anthology. He was named the William Livingston Chair of Poetry at the University of Texas at Austin in 2008, and has published three books since Strike Anywhere First Course in Turbulence, Skid, and Elegy on Toy Piano.
"In this, the most beautiful of his three collections, Dean Young enlarges the project of North American Surrealism, gifting it with an entirely new intimacy and equally new range. His voice is sharply tender and mercifully unforgetful. These urgent, elegiac improvisations speed us towards millenium." -- Donald Revell, author of My Mojave, Arcady, and There Are Three.
