Poetry. "Douglas Goetsch's first full length collection introduces to a wider readership a poet of subtle technical skill and wicked good humor. But even more important than these admirable qualities is Goetsch's compassionate understanding of peoples' lives.... These poems will 'stay up in the head' of any reader who cares about poetry, and what we do here, in our time."—Robert McDowell
