Praise
for other books by Paul
Oppenheimer
Before a Battle and Other Poems
This poet makes the moments of human
experience as important and as immediate as possible.
Library Journal
The reader is always aware of a
mind hovering over the material. He is...a true child of his times.
Madness, betrayal, murder are intrinsic in the themes he is
celebrating. The bone is never far below
the flesh.... Theme and
language are closely knit and the author shows a range of interest
uncharacteristically wide in a first
book. The New York Times
This poetry is powerful proof
that there is no such animal as peace, at least here.... It is this
combination of passion and poetry, by a virtuoso
playing
the now sound,
as disc jockeys put
it, that makes this book exciting and this poet
original. The Village Voice
Beyond the Furies, new poems
These poems are Jacobean in their
linguistic and formal virtuosity and in their love of the
gorgeous and
commonplace—even in their mating of the abstract to the concrete. Paul
Oppenheimer has written, ‘Poetry reduces the commonplace to
the
momentous’; his
reductions, so splendidly excessive, make every place
and moment they recount
strangely, beautifully uncommon.
Edmund White
Blood Memoir
This novel is permeated with the
author’s brilliance...his style is beautifully sharp and precise...
As a
debut novel Blood Memoir bears the promises of beautiful Oppenheimer
novels to come.
American Book Review
Infinite Desire: A Guide to
Modern Guilt
A wide-ranging, sensitively written
book...with richly flowing prose.
Wall Street Journal
