In Dot, Ron Padgett returns with more of the playfully profound work that has endeared him to generations of readers. Guided by curiosity and built on wit, generosity of spirit, and lucid observation, Dot shows how any experience, no matter how mundane, can lead to a poem that flares like gentle fireworks in the night sky of the reader's mind.

I'm familiar with the poet's work through anthologies and I enjoyed it a lot so jumped at the chance to read a full-length collection. I really enjoyed Dot. I liked the range of style and subject matter on offer. The poems have a thread of humour running through them even when dealing with darker subject matter which I enjoyed. I'd recommend this.
