Writing[]
Publisher's Weekly (April 2000): "The book [Enola Gay] as a whole is a kind of triumph, one which perhaps does for poetry what David Foster Wallace has done for prose fiction."[2]
Salon: "There is a gravity to Mark Levine's second book, Enola Gay, the first of three volumes in a promising new poetry series from the University of California Press. The poems in it bear a sense of having struggled up from beneath great pressure to reach the page.[3]
