Description
Poetry. Winner of the 2017 Vern Rutsala Book Prize. "THE FAR REPUBLICS is expansive—an exuberant sensibility, but rueful. The public poems relish detail—all the brand names of the time are woven into a private living-as-it-goes account that also can't forget what could have been. You can't help but being swept into the flood."—Dennis Schmitz
"Christopher Buckley's gift for wide-ranging thinking meshes so gracefully with lovingly tender details; he feels like a companion voice for all time—a Hikmet, a Neruda, yes."—Naomi Shihab Nye
Christopher Buckley's past publications have won numerous awards, and his poems have been included in many anthologies and journals. Star Journal: Selected Poems was published in 2016 as part of the Pitt Poetry Series.
