WINNER OF THE 2018 LENORE MARSHALL POETRY PRIZE
An extension of and a departure from previous explorations of family and art, these poems delve boldly into tangled realities of fatherhood, marriage, and poetry. Dealing with the day-to-day of family life—including the alert anxiety and remarkable beauty of caring for a child with cerebral palsy—these personal narratives illuminate the relationship that exists between poetry and a life fiercely lived.
