"Too Bright to See was one of the most important first books of poetry to have come out in the
last twenty-five years. Alma,
first published in its own volume two years after, has become its
necessary companion. It's a fine thing to have these two books back in
the world, the visible world, bound together, lucid and legible as they
are." —Lucie Brock-Broido

complex and brilliant evolution." —Toi Derricotte

it’s not just clouds and sunshine that show up, it’s us.” —Robert Olen Butler

and a tribute to the ingenuities of vending—rekindles and rationalizes

graceful amalgam of memoir and history, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop celebrates bibliophilic pleasures that I hope will never go out of style.” —Wayne Koestenbaum
