Bread Without Sorrow

by John Hodgen

This winner of the Balcones Prize for Poetry contains poems of family, love, betrayal, belief, and profound speculation. It is a poetry of long, musical lines, astonishingly original metaphor, and clear and direct voice. This is a remarkably intimate and moving work.

John Hodgen is incredibly accessible, and moreover, a great guy. "Coming to Grief" is a hidden gem.

This was written by the most influential teacher that I have ever had, so I might be under a bit of a bias here.
