Praise for Quick, Now, Always:

“In Irwin’s beautiful and rigorously attentive new poems, the Eye is truly the agent of Vision. What it sees is the free-fall of ourselves, our words, our images through the millennium’s vast turbulence. This is an unflinching, necessary book.”

—Donald Revell

“Mark Irwin’s poems reveal a meditative elegance and eloquence that is unparalleled in contemporary poetry. An impeccable craftsman, he writes with a lyrical urgency that somehow combines the brilliance of Valery and the natural ease of observation of William Carlos Williams. He is, as many poets already know, an American original, and his new collection, Quick, Now, Always, is his most compelling and powerful work yet.”

—David St. John
