About this title

Synopsis

At its heart, David Radavich's Here's Plenty evokes the American

South-in all its messy, charming, baffling glory. As a microcosm of the

fragile planet we inhabit, this region struggles with violence, poverty,

racism, and outdated social convention. And yet the everrenewing

beauty of the fertile landscape, a deep-seated love of story-telling, and

the warmth of everyday people bring us the possibility of re-assessment

and redemption. Radavich's poems embody the mesmerizing

complexities of human life.
