Reviews for My Last Resume: New & Collected Poems (19711908 | 19992023)

“I just love Joe Di Prisco’s poems. They move with lightness and grace, arriving again and again at the joy of surprise. They have humor, wisdom, sorrow, joy, love. To have the best of his work in one book is a real treasure.”—Matthew Zapruder, Story of a Poem and Father’s Day
