Daily Horoscope: Poems

"Daily Horoscope is a stunning first book ... Gioia is a master of forms. He experiments with old ones, and in a few instances has taken to inventing new ones." — Robert Phillips, Arrival

"Page for page, seldom has a first collection offered so many aesthetically, psychologically, and philosophically satisfying poems." — ALA Booklist

"In combining the powers of form and narration, Dana Gioia is the poet who most fully realizes the potential of the New Formalist movement." — Robert McPhillips, The Sewanee Review

"Daily Horoscope, in the finest sense, represents the perfect synthesis of maker and object made. It would be specious to praise this volume as a first book. Gioia has given us a book that is more accomplished than recent publications by many more celebrated practitioners." — Robert McDowell, The Hudson Review

"Here we have a truly exceptional poet. In his mid-thirties, Dana Gioia can be compared to Wallace Stevens and not be routed by the comparison." — Raymond Nelson, Virginia Quarterly Review
