Mark Doty's last two award-winning collections of poetry, as well as his acclaimed memoir "Heaven's Coast, " used the devastation of AIDS as a lens through which to consider questions of loss, love and identity. The poems in his new collection, "Sweet Machine, " see the world from a new, hard-won perspective: A coming back to life, after so much death, a way of seeing the body's "sweet machine" not simply as a time bomb, but also as a vibrant, sensual, living thing. These poems are themselves "sweet machines"--lyrical, exuberant and joyous--and they mark yet another milestone in the extraordinary career of one of our most distinguished and accomplished poets.

Who was your "gateway poet," the poet whose first book or poem made you want to write?
When I was a teenager, my aunt gave me Doty's books Atlantis and Sweet Machine. These books opened up a world of feeling, lyricism, and beauty in a way that split me open. I felt instantly transported to the divine.
