Usually, when a book of poetry has a date range on the cover spanning almost fifty years, I assume I am looking at a selected or collected poems. Let the reader not be fooled: Zone is something new. The correlations in this remarkable book take parataxis on mind-spinning trips across time, place, genre, medium, language, and author, producing strikingly emotional results. There are affecting pieces where personal and collective losses appear, touch, and wink away; there are larger canvases on which whole literary and social histories are re-understood and put in new motion; there are notes which carry their own emotional power. Throughout, there is the characteristic Watten tone, the reader's building sense that the cool, polished surfaces of these lines are somehow, and barely, managing to contain a kind of analytic fury -- David Kellogg, on Zone
