I Hope It's Not Over, and Good-by: Selected Poems of Everette Maddox

Andrei Codrescu calls Everette Maddox the Christ of New Orleans. Editor Ralph Adamo has brought his critical eye to bear on the work and selected the best from the published collections as well as many poems uncollected to date. This is Maddox's first publication by a major press. Adamo's interesting selection and thematic ordering of the poems puts them in a new light; even the most famous of them acquire new dimensions from his innovative arrangement.
