About this title

Synopsis

Come read for yourself why James Laughlin Prize winner David Rivard's newest book solidifies him as one of our best and most enduring poets. With poems that are both deeply personal and enticingly universal, Some of You Will Know, startles the heart and invites the mind to play. With a controlled hand, Rivard guides us into a world that shows what words can do. Of Rivard's work, Robert Pinsky tells us, "The speed of mind, compressing details and emotions, covering the maximum distance in the least time, gives this writing its thrill.
