Praise for Carl Dennis's Most Recent Book, Callings
"Dennis can enter into a fictional life while complicating and dramatizing questions that other poets just present. ... And Dennis is wise; he is one of the poets whose advice we could do well to take."--Stephen Burt, The New Republic
Callings is tremendously rewarding, for its integrity, its substance, and its seemingly effortless craft; and for its embodiment of passionate inquiry."--Beverley Bie Brahic, The Times Literary Supplement
"Dennis is known for his quiet lyricism, and his latest is similarly contemplative and restrained. Yet beneath their reticent surface, these poems brim with big questions about vocation, regret, identity, and other issues...Callings is an apt poetic companion in these uncertain and anxious economic times." --The Los Angeles Times
