Description: "Campo's background and concerns--he writes out of his identity and experience as a gay Cuban-American physician--make for a rich field of investigations, and his best work is both passionate and formally accomplished. "What the Body Told" dives into the difficult, necessary territory of physical love, desire, contagion, illness; such poems are essential to our moment. We need them."--Mark Doty
Review Quotes: "Rafael Campo is one of the most gifted and accomplished younger poets writing in English. More than that, he is a writer engaged in several of the pivotal struggles/issues of our era, and what he has to say about them is 'news that stays news.'"--Marilyn Hacker
