Playing Clean: Poems New and Selected

“These are rough-hewn poems from places many of us have never been—rust-belt bars, rice paddies, rain forests, the middle seat on an overloaded bus to nowhere. Written in a variety of forms, they hit with the full force of life itself, dispatches from that front we live and die on.”—Frederick Turner, Author of Spirit of Place: The Making of an American Literary Landscape and 1929: A Novel of the Jazz Age
