Fortune: Poems

by Joseph Millar

Fortune: Poems Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Only someone who has a deep capacity to love and enjoy the music of life could have written these wonderful, troubling poems. There's a tenderness at the core of Fortune, where the commonplace becomes atypical and fantastical,a nd eazch poem possesses a voice that summons and reveals. Joseph Millar is a poet we can believe.--Yusuf Komunyakaa, winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for poetry "If you want the real news of how America lives, of what it's like to be here with us, Millar will tell you with exactitude and delicacy in poems like none you've read before. He know a country, an America, that's been here all along waiting for its voice. It's time we listened."--Philip Levine, Ploughshares
