Still Life with Oysters and Lemon: On Objects and Intimacy
Mark Doty's prose has been hailed as "tempered and tough, sorrowing and serene" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) and "achingly beautiful" (<i>The Boston Globe</i>). In <i>Still Life with Oysters and Lemon</i> he offers a stunning exploration of our attachment to ordinary things-how we invest objects with human store, and why.
