Review In this book of poems and prose-poems charmingly depicting the international love affair of a middle-aged Argentinian and a middle-aged Californian, Doreen Stock’s sensitively brilliant language at times reaches that state of delirium that the lover in everyone will recognize and hail. —Jack Hirschman TANGO MAN by Doreen Stock is a work of insight and splendid surprise.  The poet asks, “What happens to this small souvenir of brief / happiness?” The evidence of what is discovered is all over these brilliant poems. This collection of poems is an exceptional and enduring delight.—Leah Huete de Maines About the Author Poet, literary translator, and memoir artist Doreen Stock's first book of poems, The Politics of Splendor, Alcatraz Editions, Santa Cruz, 1984, was part of a New American Writers exhibit at the Frankfurt Book Fair that year, combining her own poetry and prose poems with her translation from the work of Marina Tsvetaeva and Anna Akhmatova.
