Skandalon: Poems (Southern Messenger Poets) Paperback – August 11, 2014

Like the angel and daemon of many of these poems, the poet looks on an ordinary life somehow gone strange, a world in which even the obvious seems to need interpretation. Perhaps that is why they seem almost post-apocalyptic. And yet finally this is a poetry both funny and affirming, in which even human pain seems to yield a rare beauty.

Striking and stimulating poems of exceptional quality--intellectually astute and philosophically insightful and challenging, a book with which it's worth spending time.
