The Next Ancient World

An incredible volume of poetry--winner of the Poetry Society of America's Norma Farber First Book Award, winner of the ForeWord Magazine Poetry Book of the Year, winner of the Tupelo Press Poetry Contest, and a Pushcart Prize nominee! Three poems were selected by Garrison Keillor for on-air reading and one of which is also in his new anthology Good Poems. A must-have!
