On Dominus
What Troy forges … isn’t “corporate professional” compliance but a soul: the Nietzschean transformations of her speaker move through “the light Blake calls experience” to arrive at sublimity: “the golden center of the heart.”
—VIRGINIA KONCHAN, AUTHOR OF BEL CANTO
The most profound truth Troy impresses is a blueprint to interrogate the inferno of our everyday lives, lyre in hand, each “horrid spring” without compromising the music which survives us, as to never “kill the love in [our] hearts,” and face with dignity the Master and “myopic god who’s fuming.”
—Carlie Hoffman, winner of National Jewish Book Award
On When Ilium Burns
Tiffany Troy’s whip-smart debut brings to mind the irreverence and snap-crackle-pop allusiveness of Alan Dugan’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning first book. I can’t wait to read a whole volume of her poems!
