From the Pine Barrens to the Yucatán and from sprawling cities to the Irish countryside, David Doyle takes readers on a journey they won't soon forget. SUNROOM MIDNIGHT brims with adventure while lifting up the questions of our time with poetry that captivates and inspires. "Moving through different landscapes and geographies, David Doyle, in SUNROOM MIDNIGHT celebrates the natural world we've inherited even as he laments how our predation of it has constricted its wildness. Marshalling the wisdom of poets that have come before him and whose poems he lives with and loves, he shows us through a deep-hearted language how the world can still move us in silent and intricate ways, how emanations of pleasure can rise in us like a sparrow on the wing, how the mysterious can touch us like the quiet impress of moonlight on a river." -Gregory Djanikian "David Doyle's work is passionately receptive to the existential world. Poetry is, at the end of the day, a believer's charge, not a skeptic's chore. But attentiveness fails to leave him complacent or liable to easy acceptance; on the contrary, the sweep of his senses does not avoid judgment, with which experience dovetails. And this feels good, to find such reckoning and authority in a young poet. Add to that language rich and beautifully made. SUNROOM MIDNIGHT will move into your imagination and stay with you." -David Rigsbee "Like the old poets whose company he keeps, David Doyle is a wanderer and a contemplator of what it means to stand under the sky. If his sky is marked by cell phone towers and wires as full of pixels as theirs was of stars, that's exactly the burden he has chosen to carry in these poems. It's a particular pleasure to read and see the fine tradition of the Chinese hermit poets, Lorca, and Ginsberg going forward." -Jordan Smith

Despite the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty, USS Indianapolis was an imposing warship. She was widely used by US dignitaries in the 1930s, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who sailed aboard the ship many times. After the outbreak of World War II, she saw service near Alaska before moving into waters nearer the Japanese home islands. There, she was struck by a kamikaze and forced to return to the US for repairs. Upon completion of the repairs, Indianapolis was selected to transport components of the "Little Boy" atomic bomb from mainland US to Tinian in the Marianas Islands. On the return journey, she was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine, becoming the last large warship lost by the US during World War II. Delay in the mission to recover surviving crew resulted in the largest loss of life aboard a single ship at sea in US Navy history. The sinking of Indianapolis remains surrounded in controversy, and the wreck was not located until 2017.
