Synopsis
Poetry. This book was the winner of the 1999 National Poetry Book Award (not to be confused with the National Book Award for Poetry). Imagine a poet who could deal with the experience of Jack Kerouac but with too much intelligence to limit himself to the road. You don't have to imagine him. He exists. He has many skills, all of them beautifully bright, and on occasions when he looks into the abyss they take him safely over it -- Turner Cassity.
