Brian Doyle is the author of twelve books, including the novel Mink River and The Grail, his account of a year in a vineyard in Oregon. He edits Portland Magazine at the University of Portland.
"Brian Doyle's spirit is catching: it will catch you up, and soon
you will have caught on to everything he feels and ruminates over
and marvels at, and you will comprehend what poetry is and does.
And you will know from the throb of The Wet Engine, this unique and
beautiful book written in celestial prose, that Brian Doyle is as
glorious a poet as he is a father; and vice versa." --Cynthia
Ozick, author of The Shawl
"This wonderful book has two heroes: a small boy with a damaged
heart, and a surgeon who knows how to repair the damaged hearts of
small boys. Such heroes deserve a gifted poet to sing their songs.
Brian Doyle is that poet." --Chet Raymo, author of Honey from
Stone: A Naturalist's Search for God
