Zoo Music marks another step in the Minneapolis Renaissance - William
Waltz's book, like those of his Twin Cities peers, storms over the American
poetic landscape at the right time, sweeping aside today's tired
hyper-humor in favor of ineffable strangeness and touching sincerity.
Finalist for the 2004 Balcones Poetry Prize.
"In Zoo Music, you're going to hear squawks from the aviary while
visiting the reptile house. You're going to smell gazelle while looking at
the jellyfish. It's through these sorts of disturbing juxtapositions [that]
new musics arise." - Dean Young
"Waltz makes sure poetry's mysterious ways remain available and necessary;
this debut collection wakes up one's heart and one's brain." -
Dara Wier
