[Joe Ahearn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Highly recommended. Especially the work gathered from 1991 forward. Really interesting, subtle, funny. And an excellent book to read to get caught up on the state of the prose poem in American letters.

Collected prose poems by this master of the form, whose development as a writer I had the pleasure to observe firsthand.
