Yellow Rocket Cl

"Todd Boss is going to be a poetry all-star....He can make any rhyme feel like a concealed weapon."'”Sherman Alexie Increasingly, Todd Boss has been attracting attention, with poems in the Paris Review and The New Yorker and a series in Poetry . His first collection, set in the Midwest, alternately features a childhood Wisconsin farm, the record-breaking storm that destroyed it, and the turbulent marriage that recalls it. Love and wonder mingle in these lines--from 'œThe Hush of the Very Good'You can tell by how he lists to let her kiss him, that the getting, as he gets it, is good. It's good in the sweetly salty, deeply thirsty way that a sea-fogged rain is good after a summer-long bout of inland drought.
