American Crawl

— Vol. 4: of Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry

Published: February, 1997  Pages: 80 

“…as exciting a first book as I have seen in years, and I feel privileged to have had a hand in presenting it to the world of letters. However complex and rich his dazzling collection may be thematically, its canny presentation of struggle and redemption will touch the least specialistic reader’s nerve… In a time of much inconsequential verse, a book of such singularity and originality, not to mention quality… is exciting and welcome. American Crawl is a work by which we can all set our moral and emotional—and yes, our intellectual compasses.” —Sydney Lea more... about American Crawl
