From the Publisher:

Winner of the 2002 Balcones Award

"In My Father's House is simply one of the most powerful books of poems I have read in a long, long time. He celebrates our humanity as he looks, unblinking, at the misery of the world with intensity, integrity and compassion. Some of these poems are absolutely haunting." -- Jim Daniels

"John Hodgen's book is a remarkable achievement, with poem after poem facing the relentlessness of the world and delivering life to us with clarity and an art so deft as to seem invisible. But the art is there and brings something new to poetry which I am delighted to greet with warmth and enthusiasm." -- Vern Rutsala
