520			_aThe year is 1989 and Mark Doty's life has reached a state of enviable equilibrium. His reputation as a poet is growing, he enjoys his work as a college professor and, perhaps most importantly, he is deeply in love with his partner of many years, Wally Roberts. Wally tests positive for the HIV virus. Heaven's Coast is an intimate chronicle of love, its hardships, and its innumerable gifts. Part memoir, part journal, part elegy for a life of rare communication and beauty, Heaven's Coast evinces the same stunning honesty, resplendent descriptive power and rapt attention to the physical landscape that has won Doty's poetry such attention and acclaim.
