Poetry. One of America's most subversive cultural critics gives poetic form to his courageous and incisive voice. A clear-eyed fourth collection, searching and solemn, dissatisfied with artificial condolences and pat maxims. Wenderoth's determination in the face of harsh realities is what rescues us, and him, from hopelessness. "Joe Wenderoth is a brilliant writer, original and subversive, sensitive and strange. I read his work with awe and admiration"--Ben Marcus. Joe Wenderoth is a poet, fiction writer and essayist. He is the author of five books, including LETTERS TO WENDY'S (Verse Press, 2000) and THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LIFE: ESSAYS WRITTEN FOR JOHN ASHCROFT'S SECRET SELF (Verse Press, 2005). He grew up near Baltimore and is currently an Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Davis.
