David Mikics
In The Art of the Sonnet, Stephen Burt and David Mikics serve as guides to some of the most-celebrated sonnets in English as well as less-well-known gems by nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets.
"Burt and Mikics have gathered together and composed a marvelous book. Both of them give us profound commentaries on particular sonnets and on the genre. I know of no other recent book that so steadily illuminates the riches it invokes."
-- Harold Bloom
"David Mikics's portrait of Jacques Derrida has a colossal value for poets and dreamers like myself. It''s a lucid and sober presentation of a thinker who influenced so strongly huge parts of American literary mind."-- Adam Zagajewski
David Mikics is Professor of English at the University of Houston. He published his last book, A New Handbook of Literary Terms, with Yale University Press.
Tony Hoagland
In Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty, Tony
Hoagland is deep inside a republic that no longer offers reliable
signage, in which comfort and suffering are intimately entwined, and
whose citizens gasp for oxygen without knowing why. With Hoagland’s
trademark humor and social commentary, these poems are exhilarating for
their fierce moral curiosity, their desire to name the truth, and their
celebration of the resilience of human nature. 
Tony Hoagland is the award-winning author of three previous poetry collections, including What Narcissism Means to Me and Donkey Gospel, and a collection of essays, Real Sofistikashun: Essays on Poetry and Craft. He teaches at the University of Houston.
