Poetry. Paul Killebrew's much-anticipated full-length debut, FLOWERS, breaks open the American dream at its weakest parts, to find intrigue, sadness, humor, possibility, and new ways to question motives and metaphors. Killebrew is a bold inheritor of the lyrical tradition that dares to sing of the world as an intimate thing. In the words of Tomaž Šalamun, "to read him is a delight."
