  | | The Deathbed Playboy(1st Edition) by Philip Dacey Paperback, 88 Pages, Published 1999 by Carnegie Mellon University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-910055-47-5, ISBN: 0-910055-47-5 "Once described by Dave Smith as a one-man symphony, Dacey here ranges widely in tones, strategies, and forms, a diversity appropriate for one who characteristically mediates on American identity. In these poems, Dacey winds together many strands--our national pop culture, the vagaries of human discourse, death, and sexuality--and frames them in a narrative as comic as it is plangent." |

 | | The Deathbed Playboy(1st Edition) Poems by Philip Dacey Hardcover, 81 Pages, Published 1999 by Univ Of Washington Pr ISBN-13: 978-0-910055-48-2, ISBN: 0-910055-48-3 "These poems wind together all the strands of American identity -- our national pop culture, the vagaries of human discourse, death, and sexuality -- and frame them in a narrative as comic as it is plaintive. Surprises in the book include cameo appearances by George Bush Florence Nightingale, as well as a take J. S. Bach that owes something to the Keystone Cops." |
 | | The New York Postcard Sonnets(1st Edition) by Professor Philip Dacey Paperback, 73 Pages, Published 2007 by Rain Mountain Press ISBN-13: 978-0-9786105-7-9, ISBN: 0-9786105-7-1 "With an urban anthropologist's sense of the rich hodgepodge that constitutes a culture, and a pilgrim's sense of discovery and wonderment, Philip Dacey delivers his New York City to us in this enormously appealing series of sonnets he calls postcards. As ever, he demonstrates how form can harness the inchoate, discipline the disparate. Dacey collects the city's language, he limns its neighborhoods, and he does so with wit and elan. If e ..." |

"Reading Philip Dacey's poems is like having a conversation with a funny, sophisticated, and insightful friend. You're laughing, you're nodding in appreciation, you're saying, 'A-ha. I never saw things that way, but wow—you're right.' And you don't want to say goodbye anytime soon. Like the best literature, Dacey's poems teach us—or remind us—what it means to be human. They speak of our capacity for reverence ('Guest of Honor') ..." |

"I remember, thirtysome years ago, when Dacey first published a couple of poems in traditional forms, thinking, 'Phil, Phil, what are you doing?' That's how out of fashion the old forms had fallen. Before long, he had co-edited with David Jauss Strong Measures: Contemporary American Poetry in Traditional Forms, which has proven one of the most popular and influential anthologies of the past three decades. And I can think of no l ..." |
