From the Back Cover:
Summers of Vietnam is "a stepping stone for her into the company of writers we listen to with careful attention and anticipation. She has a wide range of subject, she writes with an arresting verbal complexity, and her eye is on the serious and resonant in human experience... It would be a mistake to try to put a limit on what she may eventually accomplish."
From the Inside Flap:
-- Alfred Corn
"Book after book has provided Mary Kinzie with fresh vectors of challenge, in the reorientations of a volatile and many-faceted talent . . . Autumn Eros makes it clear that the task of imaginative renewal is an ongoing one, and gives new rigor and intimacy to her continuing achievement. She can be counted on to speak in her own way on her own terms, to the conspicuous enhancement of a vocation and an idiom which place her in the forefront of her contemporaries."
-- Ben Belitt
"Several poems in Autumn Eros are about Kinzie's childhood... Of these poems the great one is 'Strawberry Pipe,' one of the most profoundly beautiful poems by an American that I've read in several years."
rk first be to appear in the early 1960s, Thomas Disch has proven himself, again and again, to be one of the most prodigiously talented novelist/playwright/poets of our time. In Newsweek he was saluted by Walter Clemons as "the most formidably gifted unfamous American writer." But in 1991, with the publication of The M.D., Disch's remarkably various gifts converged in a horror novel that propelled him into the mainstream even as it remade the genre in its own startling image. Now, in The Priest, Disch gives us an even more potent, darkly hypnotic, and fiendishly comic novel -- a gothic romance like no other.
At the center: Father Patrick Bryce, a Catholic priest with a present-day Minneapolis parish -- and a pedophile past. He's spent time at a church-run retreat for priests of his persuasion and returned "rehabilitated": even better equipped to keep his vice active and hidden.
Until the blackmail begins.
