“Pound once observed ‘that music begins to atrophy when it gets
too far from the dance, that poetry begins to atrophy when it gets
too far from music.’ In A Suite of Dances, Mark Weiss brings
poetry and the dance back together in intricate, delightful
measures. The rhythms and tone of these sly, sinuous poems jolt the
reader awake with unexpected, offbeat aphorisms, jokes, and moves
of improvisatory nimbleness and agile grace that always stick the
landing. [...] Pulsing with wit, bravado, vulgarity, pathos,
whimsy, and replete with that rarest of pleasures in contemporary
poetry: the sheer surge of song, these poems ripple with a music
that moves freely through the range of English lyric. The bass note
of melancholy anchors them in a tradition of reflective loss and
revival that is, finally, reaffirming, since, as Williams put it,
‘we know nothing and can know nothing/but/the dance.’”
—Patrick Pritchett
