Poetry. "With a winning mixture of verve and tenderness, the poems in THE SPIDER SERMONS confront the extreme significance of our daily lives. It's the most passionate of come-ons, but with the kindest of intentions"--Kazim Ali. "Robert Krut's new collection of poems, SPIDER SERMONS, bears lyric exactness and compassion into a new world of memory crossed with most things existential. There is a sense of what is being seen here as with after images in an electrical storm. This is a brilliant book"--Norman Dubie.
