About this Item

" For decades now, David Rigsbee has crafted poems of a bracing lyrical intensity that is both refined and tough-minded. They celebrate the blessings and consolations of a cultured life, one that can honor Auden and Roy Orbison, Faust, and one-hit Doo Sop groups. These elegant and lovingly constructed poems deserve to be read and- more importantly- reread." - David Wojahn.
