Woodward seeks news rather desperately from outer spaceand finds it in that huge vacancy, the human heart.Jorie Graham
Short, energetic, interlinked poems describe the daily and sometimes surprisingly routine nature of grief. Relying on youthful sincerity rather than nostalgic rumination, this 2005 Verse Prize winner is a sweet, sharp, and honest elegy.
Jon Woodward was born in Wichita, Kansas and currently works for the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. His first book Mister Goodbye Easter Island was published by Alice James Books in 2003.
