Reviews
Praise for A Better Life " A Better Life is a beautiful book of history taken down to the scale of one." Jericho Brown "Mann uses his own history to interrogate the experience of American life beyond the cis, white, heteronormative bubble, and he imbues his questions with humor and rhythm." Camille-Yvette Welsch, Foreword Reviews (5 stars) "Sexually witty and existentially hilarious, A Better Life is also deeply elegiac with a rigora commitment to the music of the linethat astonishes." Chen Chen "Heart-wrenching. And expert craftsmanship. This is how Mann's poems both pierce and enlarge the heart of the reader." AE Hines, APR Praise for Proprietary "Mann thrives on the demands of constraint, the challenge of needing to go deep into a subject to find the rhyme, to maintain the integrity of the line, to render an experience with clarity, control, and concision." Michael Nott, London Magazine "[Mann] represents perhaps the best in gay male poetry today, with a message of protest against corporate American life that is as relevant as it is timely. Mann's work should be admired for its ferocity, its craft, and its unabashedly gay point of view." Walter Holland, Lambda Literary "Mann is as fearless a poet as I've ever seen." Foglifter Praise for Straight Razor "Readers would do well to recognize Mann's place alongside poets like D.A. Powell, Marilyn Hacker, and Anne Sexton." Diego Báez , Booklist "Not least among the distinctions of Mann's poems is that they aspire to one of the oldest ambitions of art: to fix the transient moments of our daily lives--in all their banality and beauty, their reverence and ridicule--in enduring forms. Mann is among our finest, most skillful poets of love and ruin." Garth Greenwell, Towleroad "Randall Mann uses strict forms to render the casual, even the casually tragic. In that way he's like the Elizabeth Bishop of 'One Art.'" Edmund White Praise for Complaint in the Garden "Mann's Complaint in the Garden quickly asserted itself for its rich idiom, its technical command, its poignant, often overlapping narratives, and its coherence not just as a miscellany but as a real book of poems." -- David Baker, Kenyon Review, Praise for A Better Life " A Better Life is a beautiful book of history taken down to the scale of one." Jericho Brown "Mann uses his own history to interrogate the experience of American life beyond the cis, white, heteronormative bubble, and he imbues his questions with humor and rhythm."

LA Times "These poems are not for the faint of heart." Lambda Literary "As Mann demonstrates in these complex, ringing lyrics, love gets even more complicated when whom you love has political implications." Cleveland Plain Dealer Praise for Complaint in the Garden "Mann's Complaint in the Garden quickly asserted itself for its rich idiom, its technical command, its poignant, often overlapping narratives, and its coherence not just as a miscellany but as a real book of poems." -- Kenyon Review "Randall Mann uses strict forms to render the casual, even the casually tragic.

Synopsis
Political and sequined, Deal: New and Selected Poems contains the most memorable of Mann's previous five collections and presents new poems of disco, lament, and formal invention. One of our leading American practitioners of poetic form and liberating constraint, Randall Mann has for the past thirty years confronted what it means to identify as multiracial and queer in urban America. Deal: New and Selected Poems harnesses five previous volumes and includes economical yet expansive new works rooted in an age of Wi-Fi, apps, and chat notifications. His newest poems, written in concise, contemporary lines, move us word by word, until we arrive at a stark reality. Unafraid of the nexus between politics, syntax, and the contradictions of the colloquial, Mann's poetry refuses "token liberation" and reminds us that "life's a cold exercise in looking back"-back to disco and fetish, to a shared gay history, to his childhood Florida or his beloved San Francisco. Whether writing a sestina in the voice of the mortician of Harvey Milk's murderer, or a deeply moving pantoum elegizing bullied gay adolescents who committed suicide, formal invention for Mann remains intensely personal. This collection--erotic, mournful, and often satirical--characteristically subverts, even as it enlarges, a language that continues to fail us. Timestamped by surprise and exhaustion, and filled with the everyday indignities of being alive, Deal: New and Selected Poems affirms Randall Mann, in the words of Garth Greenwell, as "among our finest, most skillful poets of love and ruin.", Political and sequined, Deal: New and Selected Poems contains the most memorable of Mann's previous five collections and presents new poems of disco, lament, and formal invention.
