Drawing from a career of almost fifty years, Daniel Mark Epstein's collection of new and selected poems forms a lyrical autobiography of its author as a poet and a man. Dawn to Twilight examines universal themes such as love and aging, happiness and despair, each of which Epstein approaches differently throughout the decades of his writing career. These poems encapsulate the evolution of Epstein's work, with the passage of time itself forming a crucial theme as the author grows from student to lover to father.Epstein's poems evince his deep empathy for people from all walks of life: a knife salesman who harbors no illusions about the use to which his wares have been put; a teacher who watches his student struggle with a thorny philosophical question; a genie whose plans of revenge fade as he emerges from his lamp into the light. Dawn to Twilight celebrates the coming of joy and beauty, accepts their transience, and elegizes their passing.

Daniel Mark Epstein's poetry has been in the public eye for nearly sixty years, since the magazine publication of the poems in his groundbreaking first book, No Vacancies in Hell (1973). Critics praise the erotic and spiritual lyricism of his poetry, as well as its power in capturing crucial moments of American history in dramatic monologues, including prize-winning portraits of a yellow fever epidemic and Henry Adams's tragic marriage. Of The Traveler's Calendar (2002), Booklist commented, "Biographies of Nat King Cole and Edna St. Vincent Millay have won Epstein greater renown, but his best writing is his mythically and historically haunted poetry." The critic Adam Kirsch called Dawn to Twilight (2015), a selection of Epstein's lyric poems, "a testament to the achievement of a major American poet." Constellations collects, for the first time, the nine books of poems published by a modern master of lyric, dramatic, and narrative poetry. A stirring selection of new work includes the sonnet sequence "Cruel April: Poems from the Pandemic," which inspired a 2020 short film featuring Tyne Daly.
