Synopsis:

Selected by Thomas Lux as the Tupelo Press Judges Prize Winner in 2002, this marvelous first book is fueled by Bill Van Everys spontaneity and his cohesive, intimate, emotional voice. This is a remarkable young poet who delicately filets his verse to the barest bones, seducing the reader with a lyric facade of simplicity and humor while artfully revealing a deep emotional resonance. This book of verse is, quite simply, wonderful and essential.
