Belmont: Poems 

“The collection is dominated by virtuosic turns and eclectic imaginings made all the more charming by Burt's constant self-reflexive address to the reader as co-conspirator and part of his larger we.” New York Times Book Review

“In this, his third and best book, [Burt] is moved to song by the challenges, whimsies and ecstasies of fatherhood and suburban life. These poems are all kinds of tender; they're funny, too. Most of all, they're made wise by a father's careful attention to all his children know.” NPR, "Best Books of 2013"

 Advice from the Lights: Poems

 “Advice From the Lights triumphs at its most plainspoken, in the thrilling sequence of ‘Stephanie’ poems, their speakers curious and playful. . . . The collection’s self-scrutiny is sometimes painful but rendered with formal grace, often with the satisfaction of rhyme. Burt’s intricate poems enact an experience of yearning that is emotional and also political.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“For all its insights into trans experience, Advice from the Lights is the brightest and most inviting of Burt’s collections for readers of any, all, and no genders.”—Boston Review
