Reviews
Milt Kessler Poetry Book Award winner
Paterson Poetry Prize finalist
Publishers Weekly Book of the Year Washington Post Book World:
"Captures the essence of American culture with brush strokes from a diverse, brilliant palette."
Black Issues Book Review:
"Amazing . . . Transcircularities is important because it succeeds in giving us a panoramic view into the poet's development of craft and style over the past three decades."
Bloomsbury Review:
"[Transcircularities] is a brilliant metaphor for the powerful symmetry that has made [Troupe's] work some of the most compelling in recent American poetry. . . . a triumphant collection."
The Stranger, Seattle, WA:
"The vast scope of Quincy Troupe's experiences and observations are recorded in Transcircularites, the culmination of 36 years of poetry and prose. . . . [Troupe's] exposure to jazz and blues is evident in his flowing, musical style, which alternates between formal and free verse, with topics that range from racial injustice to phonetics, to even wastewater management."
Publishers Weekly:
"[Troupe] demonstrates his ebullient and undimmed powers in this capacious selection."
