Review
The Unfortunates is a unique collection of poetic portraits written in blank verse octaves. These poems introduce a wide range of unfortunate inhabitants of the contemporary landscape: a young man attracted to cults, a woman working for a psychic hotline, a housebreaker, a disgruntled librarian, a con artist, a pyrophile, and many more. Each poem has an individual tale to tell, and the sum total of the collection provides a powerful commentary on contemporary life in America. --Midwest Book Review
