Promises: Poems New and Selected - Paperback

by Ray Amorosi (Author)

Ray Amorosi's poems are beyond unusual; they are unique. Their blending of speed and stillness, their strange freewheeling way with punctuation and all forms of predictable usage, and the blinding freshness and honesty of their discoveries have no precise equal in contemporary American poetry. This book brings together the best from his five previous volumes and offers a trove of new work that is sure to astonish.
