He was, hands down, one of our best-most inventive, most adventurous, most original, most resourceful-poets, and he did more than anybody to push the boundaries and expand the possibilities of what poetry could be, while simultaneously reaffirming at every instant exactly what poetry has always been: singing in the service of the infinite. - Matt Hart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Violi wrote eleven books of poetry in his lifetime, including Overnight, Fracas, The Curious Builder, and Likewise, from Hanging Loose Press.
