”Beautiful Flames, his sixth book-length collection, shows a poet at the top of their game. Mahemoff’s world of acute observation and insight combine melancholy and irony, the transcendent and everyday, in surprising combinations that thrill and entertain. Whether he is reflecting on family relationships, suburban streetscapes, or the rich complexity of the past, he always succeeds in finding a point of wonder that embodies the very essence of poetry.”--Publisher.
