The 13 ottava rima cantos in "Model Homes" present a neo-Freudian tale of the goings-on in the poet's present home and various events from his childhood. Modulating a voice that is urbane and ribald, melancholic and wry, Koestenbaum puts a memorable spin on the status quo notion of domestic arrangements.

He was co-winner of the 1989 Discovery/"The Nation" poetry contest, has published three books of poetry and three books of prose, and writes frequently for "The New York Times Magazine," "The London Review of Books" and other periodicals. He lives in New York, NY. |
