Bøker i The Backwaters Prize in Poetry Honorable Mention-serien

Everybody’s Jonesin’ for Something takes an imagistic leap through the darker side of our search for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, perusing what we lose, what we leave behind, and what strange beauty we uncover.

These poems delve into the complexity of modern health care, illness, and healing, teaching us what should be the human response to suffering: take a moment to stop and respond to the longing for compassion in each of us.
