by Rick Barot (Author)
"Barot's Want is dexterous and thrilling, and his capacious and generous vision shows us how the eye survives 'to correct the heart.'"--Michael Collier
"In Rick Barot's hands every poem casts at least two luminous shadows. Want is masterfully merciless and merciful at the same time."--Terrance Hayes
