"""A life in, of, and for poetry: Michael Gottlieb generously lays bare the one he has led, putting in plain terms the measures by which the discipline asserts itself as a constitutive force... Gottlieb gives us an immensely valuable document in the annals of Language writing and contemporary literary autobiography."" --Kasey Silem Mohammed ""A bright young poet arrives penniless in a resplendently decaying New York where he finds a group of like-minded writers. They join ranks and set out to challenge the establishment. Gottlieb makes this old story new with crisp prose and thoughtful personal details."" --Jennifer Moxley ""Michael Gottlieb saw it all, did it all & appears to have taken notes."" --Ron Silliman"
