WINNER OF THE 2007 DONALD HALL PRIZE IN POETRY
Selected by Bob Hicok
"Burn and Dodge" is part serious/part serious play and opens with a frank and occasionally antic exploration of contemporary vices, such as Guilt, Envy, and Regret.

The collection contains a sequence of poems called Current Events, based on newspaper stories. that is also a playful meditation on the nature of the interrogative pronouns (Who, What, Where, When . . . ) as well as another series of homophonic sonnets called Clare-Hewn, which are aural translations of John Clare.
