"With 'dark swollen words and shifting air,' Matthew Nienow builds poems as if building boats, 'each strip like a tree's growth,' and 'asking the question rivers are always asking: why?' From Nienow I am grateful to have learned that poetry 'is movement with one desire: to pull at whatever it touches.' There is much talk these days of the importance of a poet's voice. But here we have proof that a poet's ear…for music, for complexity, for 'the prodigal aria returning home'…is just as important." —Todd Boss |

Hurricane Blues is a unique artifact of American history: an anthology of original poems about the two most infamous hurricanes of 2005. Many of these poems are eyewitness accounts—written by both distinguished and emerging poets, all of whom were moved by the destruction of a legendary American city and the roughly 300-mile radius within Katrina's wrath. |
