Doty ponders how the self is defined in the public world, as his narratives navigate the summer crowds of Provincetown, sidewalk culture in New York City, and the byways of the imagination.

Publisher Notes
This bold, wide-ranging collection -- his sixth book of poems -- demonstrates the unmistakable lyricism, fierce observation, and force of feeling that have made Mark Doty's poems special to readers on both sides of the Atlantic.
The poems in Source deepen Doty's exploration of the paradox of selfhood. They offer a complex, boldly colored self-portrait; their muscular lines argue fiercely with the fact of limit; they pulse with the drama of perception and the quest to forge meaning.
Media Reviews
"With SOURCE, Doty has moved further toward a powerful maturity of style and a gravity of purpose that open new poetic territory and deepen his famously mimetic voice."
