His figures are bizarre but familiar: people born under punches, shaken awake by rattles and flares, latter-day pilgrims who stare at the statue that stares at America; people for whom disobedience is still a first duty, and death but a question of style. Wearing bandages rather than smiles, they're misshapen champions downed by self-bludgeons, perversely on foot while the saddled horse follows--and yet in each case, in each poem, they are honored if not saved by nuanced reflection, measured perception, and the pleasures of song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirk Nesset\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936205769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936205769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen F.
