"Dennis Maloney's exquisite new collection of poetry, Listening to Tao Yuan Ming, offers his superb versions (or 'visions' as he calls them) of Tao Yuan Ming's seminal Twenty Poems After Drinking Wine as well as a sequence of delicate "harmonizing" poems-before the book concludes with its title section, a lyric album of powerful personal reflections. Listening to Tao Yuan Ming is nothing less than a deeply moving conversation across history and culture, as if we were fortunate enough to overhear these two marvelous poets sharing their wine, their times, and their poetry." --David St. John
"This is a book of amazing range. Dennis Maloney is equally at home with ancient Japanese forms and the memory of hearing Janis Joplin at the Fillmore. Moving with confidence among continents and centuries, the poems have an uncanny immediacy that makes us feel as if the voice is always right here, right now. As one of our most accomplished translators, Maloney seems to have mastered the art of being invisible, so that his poems sing their human songs untethered from any particular autobiography, though they dip in and out of many. In this sense the book has multiple voices, all of which speak with the gravitas of age and experiencewhile somehow preserving an arresting freshness of vision. Easy of access, playful, profound, surprising, and often quietly heartbreaking, The Things I Notice Now is the work of a poet writing at the height of his powers."-Chase Twichell
