Synopsis
The poems in Liver come at the reader from many angles at once, like a whirlwind or a warm shower. Charles Harper Webb is a poet of contradictions: humor and heartbreak, depth and accessibility, playfulness and seriousness, raw energy and careful craft. His poems glorify the spirit, but also the flesh, exemplified by the liver, the “organ whose name contains the injunction Live!... great One-Who-Lives, so we can too.” Even at their darkest, their most outraged and sorrowing, Webb’s poems affirm the world, and help us live in it gladly.
Winner of the 1999 Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry, Selected by Robert Bly

Review
"Charles Harper Webb has a strong voice. He doesn't back away in order to say safe things. . . . He is a poet of complicated and brave feelings."-—Robert Bly
"Webb has a wild inventive energy, a quirky at times and even manic wit, and a deep sense of wonder at the world."—Edward Hirsch
