Things That Happen Once: New Poems – Contemporary Southern Poetry on Parenthood, Sexuality, and Moral Engagement

by Rodney Jones

Things That Happen Once, Jones's fifth volume, may well be his finest yet, combining currents of southern evangelism, contemporary sophistication, and passionate moral engagement. Its forty-one poems display an exciting power of language and open up new visions of inheritance and parenthood, sexuality and change. In doing so, these poems release energy that American poets and readers of poetry will eagerly welcome.
