Reviews of Voluntary Servitude

“These poems demonstrate line by line, like a series of erotic, metaphysical tricks, what Wunderlich does best—unleashing the energy in language, while at the same time binding it.” —OUT Magazine

“No matter the topic, Wunderlich almost infallibly strikes a tone of humane feeling and aesthetic refinement.” —Contemporary Poetry Review

“Implacably honest and deftly scripted… This is a body of work that will linger in the mind long after this slim volume has been set back upon the shelf.” —Midwest Book Review

“Tugging and beautiful.” —Provincetown Arts

“Voluntary Servitude is evidence of [Mark Wunderlich’s] remarkable growth since the release of his first book, and a promise that his talent and voice will continue to unfold in new and unexpected ways.” —Speakeasy

“Vivid, convincing lines on the torments of love, flirtatious descriptions and weighty confessions mingle in Wunderlich’s deeply felt sophomore effort….His images end up filmic, almost baroque, finding complication and human longing in every animal, valley, forest and street…Wunderlich’s debut, The Anchorage, garnered a 1999 Lambda Award; the variety of forms and emotional intensities here should bring this follow-up even more recognition.” —Publishers Weekly
