"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.

Gioia is one of the very best poets alive today. His first collection of poetry stuns with its wit, acuity, intelligence, and deep feeling.
Gioia's is an original voice although he is a direct literary descendent of Wallace Stevens via the romantic poets. His inspirations are diffuse and impressive--from Weldon Kees to Bix Beiderbecke; from John Cheever to the Beach Boys. ( )
