“With tremendous clarity and wisdom, Daniel Tomasulo has crafted a memoir at once heartbreaking and uplifting. Layers of time and memory—childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle age—are so beautifully revealed here, a trenchant reminder that our pasts are alive inside of us. There are psychologists who can write, and writers who can psychologize, but rarely have the two met on the page with such moving, profound results.”

"Out so much farther than our present pieties, attentive to no social
or sentimental voice, only passion's (so often ruinous, defiant of
upshot), it is not in every case, every poem, that Carl Phillips
triumphs over my timidity. As with Sappho and Pasolini, though, traces
of the winged god are everywhere unmistakable, even when this new poet
has kicked them over: it is a sacred entail his harsh graces make. I
for one am an awed (if lacerated) heir." —Richard Howard

Sprengnether's memories and quick film summaries meld into one another,

actually lived one." —Publishers Weekly

substance." —Heather McHugh

"Perhaps everyone has a story that could break your heart—the poems that make up Elegy break mine. These poems are astonishing—here is fierce, controlled abandon, here is one of our finest poets utterly in the moment, yet the moment is unbearable. “There is no waking from death,” Bang writes, and yet each of these poems is fully alive.” —Nick Flynn
