A writer of seemingly limitless range. — Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours. This Stonewall Book Award-winning novel traces the life and unrealized dreams of Arnold Hawley, a gay African American poet. The tale unfolds in three non-chronological parts, starting in the twenty-first century with Hawley's lonely old age and the failure of his latest volume of poetry. The narrative then retreats to the 1970s to recount Hawley's impulsive marriage to a homeless woman. A final section revisits the poet's student days, during which an aborted sexual encounter sets the pattern for a lifetime of regrets and missed opportunities. A meditation on isolation and sexual repression, Dark Reflections also offers an acerbic look at the literary world and the frustrations intrinsic to artistic life. A devastating and beautifully written study of the loneliness and despair that so often accompany the life of the mind in America. — Publishers Weekly Dark Reflections is among the most detailed, thoughtful, and heartbreaking portrayals of a writer's life. — Los Angeles Review of Books
