Summary: 'Reasons for Moving' was Mark Strand's first book, and on its publication in 1968 Donald Justice called him "maybe the very best of the new poets." 'Darker' followed, and robert Penn Warren said, "The moment is always exciting when a true poet finds the secret self that is the wellspring of his inspiration." And Harold Bloom wrote, "These poems instantly touch a universal anguish as no confessional poems can, for Strand has the fortune of writing naturally and almost simply (though this must be supreme artifice) out of the involuntary near solipsism that always marks a central poetic imagination in America."
