Poetry. Winner of the 2009 New Issues Poetry Prize, selected by Marvin Bell. From Judge's Citation: "I was caught by the clarity of mind and expression of SKY=EMPTY--quality distinctive at any time. I was caught by the ear and eye, the tone of voice, and the easy movement between inner and outer. The respect for language is tangible. This is a beautiful, engaging first book."
