Hailed as one of the best contemporary poets writing in the English
language, David Ferry meditates unsentimentally, in many of these
powerful and often wrenching poems, on the dispossession of people
afflicted by madness, homelessness, or other forms of wildness. The
voices in all the poems in this book demonstrate how, for each of
us, there is no certain dwelling place. David Ferry's Dwelling
Places is a marvelous, extremely moving book, distinguished by
Ferry's characteristic formal virtuosity, extraordinarily fresh and
'inner' translations, and a kind of driven anguished rage at both
the social conditions in which human beings have to live and the
mysteriously unchangeable tragedies of individual human lives. The
translations amplify and deepen the contemporary scenes. I feel
that in the future this will be perceived as a great book.--Frank
Bidart Not until I had read Dwelling Places several times did I see
how ingeniously resourceful, ambitious, and admirably modest a book
David Ferry has made.--Boston Review
