His poetry has been translated into several languages.Mark Irwin’s new poems that ask “how long, how bright?” are radiant with a sheen of longing and urgency.—Arthur Sze, National Book Award  “So often we consider how to tell the story of our beginnings, but what is it to persist, through language, in a suspended state of endings? To “witness a world that is perishing” even as one is “lonely for the present”? Once When Green is a primer in listening to that which we are unaccustomed to conceiving of as having sound, relayed in a rush of lyric language after the lilting of waves and movement of stars.                                                                                —Abigail Chabitnoy
