His dreams, his pessimistic résumés of childhood that are suddenly lanced by a joke, his surreal loves, his strangely lit landscapes with their inquisitive birds and disquieting flora, have been fertile influences for me, though I hope I haven’t stolen anything—well, better to steal than borrow, as Eliot more or less said. All of which may be a way of saying that there is no very easy way to describe Martory’s poetry. It is sui generis and it deserves to be read. And reread.” —John Ashbery\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheep Meadow Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019535532272,"sku":"9781931357524","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781931357524_p0.jpg?v=1763638300","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781931357524","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
