Love's Instruments

"Eloquent, cosmopolitan, acute, at home in Harlem or Dakar, Paris of Provincetown, or on a back porch 'down home', Melvin Dixon wrote poems of a lyrical complexity, an intellectual forthrightness, imbued with a love of language(s) which mirrored his love of the physical world, of cities, of music, of bodies. He was adept at the erotics of compassion. We are fortunate to have this last book - even as we mourn its author" -
