Description
"The poems of Timothy Donnelly astonish by their inventive intelligence . . . we learn that self-knowledge can be adequate to knowledge of the world, in all its violence and complexity." Allen Grossman Timothy Donnelly's long-awaited second collection is a tour de force, fully invested with an abiding faith in language to illuminate the advances of personal and political contingency. Timothy Donnelly's The Cloud Corporation won the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award, and was a finalist for the 2011 William Carlos Williams Award. Twenty-seven Props for a Production of Eine Lebenszeit was published by Grove Press in 2003. He is poetry editor for Boston Review and teaches at Columbia University. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and daughters.
We will be sending advanced review and review copies to all pertinent media outlets, as well as more specialized poetry, pop culture and literary venues. Timothy Donnelly will be reading extensively in support of The Cloud Corporation. Because of Timothy's role as Poetry and Review Editor at Boston Review, his book stands an exceptional chance of receiving special critical attention and consideration by a wide number of print media outlets. We will be targeting an academic audience, including our vast network of academics and creative writing programs, as The Cloud Corporation is unquestionably suited for teaching.

Reviews
"This is an extraordinary collection - the poetry of the future, here, today." -John Ashbery "Omnivorous, fast-forward, bull-in-a-china-shop poems that deliver more beauty per minute than can comfortably be withstood. If Whitman had had a young kid and a Brooklyn apartment, too many bills, and a stack of takeout menus in the top drawer of his Ikea desk, he would have written these poems. This is my favorite book of the year." -Dan Chiasson,The New Yorker "Like a favorite late-night DJ surfacing from the AM static one particularly desolate evening, Timothy Donnelly's The Cloud Corporation, his first collection of poetry in seven years, more than makes up for all the dead air."-Los Angeles Times
