Poetry. OVERNIGHT is Paul Violi's eleventh book of poems.

Recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships in poetry as well as grants from the Ingram Merrill Foundation, The Fund for Poetry, The Foundation for Contemporary Arts and many other awards, he currently teaches in the New School's graduate writing program and at Columbia University. "Deft, magical, filled with light, Violi's poetry is pure pleasure. He uses form with a mock-seriousness that would put most formailists to shame. These are poems of one who seems to love life, despite its abundant absurdities, and to love poetry"--American Book Review.
