The Café at Light is a beautiful and original book. Mark McMorris has a genuinely cosmopolitan imagination--one that moves musically, and with rapidity and insight, from intimacy to our citizenship in the world and back--and he continually invents poetic forms that are adequate to his remarkable extension of poetry's domain.—Susan Stewart
