“This is an intricate, muscular, startlingly powerful collection, one that amazes by image and statement, by its shaped whole, and by the sheer scope of its poetic observation. . . . Inventiveness of language, the investigative passion, praises, lamentation, and a proper sense of the ridiculous are omnipresent. . . . This book is a breathtaking debut.” — Jane Hirshfield, Ploughshares
In 2004, a now legendary debut book of poems was chosen by Eleanor Wilner for the Dorset Press and released by Tupelo Press: Ilya Kaminsky’s symphonic and many-layered Dancing in Odessa, a book that earned its young author the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Addison M. Metcalf Award and a Whiting Writer’s Award, and that drew accolades from some of America’s most discerning poets, including Anthony Hecht, Jane Hirshfield, Carolyn Forché, Robert Pinsky, and Adam Zagajewski.
