FOR MAX RITVO'S FOUR REINCARNATIONS  \n\"In Four Reincarnations,Max Ritvo brings us along where poetryneeds to go;away from the small confessional and into a big worldof death,love,and metaphysics.While allowing for the possibilityof a confessional mode in the details,Ritvo's poems take stock of thenineteenth-century sublime,adding the contemporary death of God,and going forward with bravery,irony,and the most compassionatesense of humor.The relationship he hews between language and thebody is both original and hard won.His lyric complicity is betweenself,dedicatee,reader,and world.Ritvo's ear for language is beauti-ful,as is his spirit.His poems defy solipsism and enter a cosmology ofunconditional love.How lucky I am that I found Max Ritvo and hispoetry;he makes me love poetry again.\"  \n—SARAH RUHL  \n“This is poetry written in the dark light of dying young.You feel thetruth of this poetry too deeply to want to talk about it in your ownwords.You want to give it to other people still back here in health,tosay to them,'Here:the earthly gift of this poet of genius,Max Ritvo.To Ritvo himself,we might say what he says to his wife in one of thesepoems:'Thou art me before Iam myself.'In the sense not of death,butofmost ardent life.”  \n—JEAN VALENTINE  \n\"Ifyou could confect a numinous cauldron and stir into it the lumens ofChristopher Smart's Spiritual Musick,the spirit-hounds of Hopkins's'terrible crystals,'the hysteria of Monty Python's antics,the grace anddepth of Keats's early wisdoms,you would render incarnate the firstand final book of Max Ritvo's,Four Reincarnations.The poems flickerlike fireflies let loose from their captivity in a mason jar,fulguratinglike Nobodaddy's business.Somehow,somewhere,Ritvo must have  \nbegun as an infant scholar,a prodigy,a young man of the rarest andmost prescient gifts.This is a dazzling collection,rife with life,andwith death,impending.This book,then,will be the afterlife.Ritvo'swork is extracelestial,riddled with brilliance and with ecstasies.Weare lucky to have this luminous collection in our world.It will go on.And then on.\"  \n—LUCIE BROCK-BROIDO  \n“Armed with intelligence,valor,audacity,and grace,Max Ritvo'simagination pushes back against one grim reality after another in itsinsistence on celebrating being embodied in the first place.No poetI can think of undertakes the transmutation of suffering into art withanything resembling Ritvo's wild theatricality,inclusiveness,and tonalrange.Dizzying,out of proportion,poundingly felt,fantastical,fanat-ical,urgently constructed,confessional,gaudy,absurd,mystic,har-rowing—the fact that Ritvo's work can be described in so many waysis testament to its complexity.The fact that we can never quite describeit in full is evidence of its irreplaceability.The fact that it haunts somany of its readers is proof that it has already become a necessary andsustaining part of us—some measure of our acquired wisdom,someportion of our vision of what it means to be alive.”  \n—TIMOTHY DONNELLY  \n# FOUR\n\nREINCARNATIONS  \n12.  \n# FOUR\n\nREINCARNATIONS  \nPOEMS  \nMAX RITVO  \nM I
