This is a brutally realistic book of poetry. By immersing himself
in the particular details of his most meaningful moments, John Amen
transforms hurt into poems that are both imaginative and lyrically
expressive. With metaphoric daring and off-beat grace, he guides us
through haunting and sometimes violent memories of roving through
America's southland. Includes the 260 line poem-sequence "Portraits
of Mary", hailed by poet Jared Smith as "perhaps the most complex,
intricate, and thoroughly honest love poem in all of contemporary
poetry". A thoroughly human book of memorable poems of great
intensity by one of our best younger poets.
