What the Critics Say
About Michael Anania
|
|
The Color of Dust
|
Moody, imagistic, strangely haunting and well-turned, Anania strums a panoply of sounds and movements that become a poetry of musical excellence on a plane with Eliot's Preludes....One of the best first books of the decade. — Los Angeles Times |
Heat Lines
|
Anania ranges after such large thematic game as the occasions of desire, consolation,
departure, tolerance and uncertainty. He often succeeds by careful indirection and
reflection. — Chicago Magazine
|
In Natural Light
|
In Natural Light is a new collection of the poetry of Michael
Anania. As in his earlier work, Anania's lyrical meditations reveal
vivid imagery and compelling use of language. His depth of
perception and remarkable ear create a timeless collage of people
and place. — from the jacket

In Plain Sight
|
From poet/essayist Anania: well-honed essays, many reprinted from Chicago Magazine or The Chicago Tribune, that touch upon a variety of topics — including the American automobile, the best way to choose a tie, and the literary output of Spiro Agnew. — Kirkus Reviews |
|
The Red Menace
|
Anania's novel The Red Menace (1984) demonstrate[s] an intensely evocative sense of place. — Kirkus Reviews |
Selected Poems
|
Mr Anania's precursors include Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and Charles Olsen. Like Robert Creeley, the poet whom he most resembles, he is interested primarily in the articulation of consciousness, and his work is notable more for what it excludes than for what it includes. — New York Times Book Review |
|
The Sky at Ashland
|
Anania ranges after such large thematic game as the occasions of desire, consolation, departure, tolerance, and uncertainty. He often succeeds by careful indirection and reflection. — Chicago Magazine |
