How to Read (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578871400)

In his debut collection How to Read, Thomas Richardson argues that the human journey is a lifelong exercise in understanding our world. This elusive goal-further complicated by the poet's Southern origins-takes shape through juxtapositions of irreverence with serious theological exploration, and love with the lurking presence of death. Richardson's compelling poems suggest we are never finished learning how to read.
