Four Way Books Levis Prize in Poetry - Award-Winning Poetry Collection for Literature Lovers | Perfect for Book Clubs, Gifts & Literary Enthusiasts

I don't know much about poetry but boy do I like this book. Ross turns quiet sexy, stillness to motion; the ocean to sea and back. The last line of Exchange beautifully wrong-foots me every time. The first line of Novembered rings like the beginning of some fine ass fiction--but it goes some place way more interesting and with better music.Needless to say, Ross is working with a lot here. I love particularly what he renders from the harsher materials of life: blood & rocks & bones & salt. Stuff like that. It's hard-edged but also lovely and touching and accessible to someone like me who doesn't read much poetry on a normal weekend. Read this book.
