Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Increasingly, Todd Boss has been attracting attention, with poems in the Paris Reviewand The New Yorkerand a series in Poetry. His first collection, set in the Midwest, alternately features a childhood Wisconsin farm, the record-breaking storm that destroyed it, and the turbulent marriage that recalls it. Love and wonder mingle in these lines--

Synopsis:

"Todd Boss is going to be a poetry all-star....He can make any rhyme feel like a concealed weapon."'"Sherman Alexie
