In this third collection of poems, Timothy Liu has extended his
already considerable range in meticulous poems that are sometimes
shocking, sometimes consoling, but consistently vivid in imagery
and consequence. Marilyn Hacker has noted that Liu's "Eros is agape
also", and in Say Goodnight, his spirit of generosity once again
shines through his subjects like an eternal light through the
transparency of a world most people take for granted. From Ku Klux
Klan murders to Rodin's sculptures, from the third century Chinese
poet Lu Chi to a modern-day gay bashing, Liu greets savagery and
beauty alike -- with tender intelligence, a wise eye for revealing
detail, and a disciplined ear tuned to the line.
