Reviews
I expected Belmont's craft and wit and intellect. What I did not expect was Burt's occasionally lovely and deeply considered strangenesses: shadowy places I needed to dig at, moments in his poems when the gates surrounding more manicured language are left ajar--unfastened, beckoning. . . . The core of this book is restless; it seeks., * A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Poetry Book of Spring 2013 * Praise for Stephen Burt: "Burt, the finest critic of his generation, has struck out on his own. It is time now to celebrate Burt's other real work." -Lucie Brock-Broido Praise for Belmont : "Joy is new each time it happens-and it happens a lot in these poems of Stephen Burt's Belmont . . . . This is a world in which authority figures pull strings but are mostly irrelevant: Burt dismantles all cultural, psychological and literary idee recue pertaining to childhood, identity, gender." - Los Angeles Times "These poems, which are often wryly humorous, express great tenderness for American domestic life. . . . They also capture the limitations and disappointments that accompany the arrival of adulthood." - Page-Turner , the blog of the New Yorker , "Books to Watch Out for" "Stephen Burt has long been regarded among the most important critics now writing, but this year marks his emergence as one of his generation's most interesting poets." -NPR, "A 2013 Poetry Preview" "Stephen Burt's Belmont is a celebration of the ordinary: walks in the park, breakfast cereal, the Subaru, the Swingline stapler. It's a book about being a father in the suburbs, and thus a book about growing up, written from the perspective of someone who has and who has discovered that there is life, and happiness to be had on the other side. . . .

Grounded in the physical world, the poems recognize and enshrine the wonder of consciousness itself and follow wherever it might lead." - Library Journal "Breezily contemporary in feel, yet deeply lyrical in quality and effect. . . .

Synopsis
The new poetry collection by Stephen Burt, "one of the most gifted poets of his generation" (Frank Bidart) *An NPR Best Book of 2013 * A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Poetry Book of Spring 2013 * Our skills are finally in demand. If you mock us, Pan, In whom we also believe, do it As gently as you can. --from "The People on the Bus" In Belmont , Stephen Burt maps out the joys and the limits of the life he has chosen, the life that chose him, examining and reimagining parenthood, marriage, adulthood, and suburbia alongside a brace of wild or pretty alternatives: the impossible life of a girl raised by cats, the disappointed lives of would-be rock stars, and the real life to which he returns, with his family, in the town that gives the book its name, driving home in an ode-worthy silver Subaru. Can a life be invented the way a poem can? What does it mean for a precocious child, or a responsible grown-up, to depict the world we want? With wit, beauty, tenderness, and virtuosity, these poems define the precarious end of extended adolescence, and then ask what stands beyond.
