Flashes of action, some of them quite violent and noir alternate with evocative, lyrical passages reminiscent of Japanese landscape scrolls, and speeches concerning questions of guilt and redemption--all of this composed with a light touch and an ear sensitive to the weights and balances of words.\"--Anselm Hollo, National Poetry Series judge\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaymond McDaniel\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Florida and now lives in Ann Arbor where he writes for the \u003ci\u003eConstant Critic\u003c\/i\u003e, teaches at the University of Michigan and hosts the reading series at Shaman Drum Bookshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond McDaniel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566891655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566891653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coffee House Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.42w x 0.23d","brand":"Raymond McDaniel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078430028031,"sku":"9781566891653","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f74d5169-7cdb-4b49-a40e-7b80f787aaed.jpg?v=1685475465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-a-violet-raymond-mcdaniel-9781566891653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
