The Hole of Everything, Nebraska (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511867900)

From a no-luck little league team, to a lonely embalmer, to a preteen girl and her bicycle, the characters that populate Max Seifert's fictional Nebraska town are struggling to be something in the middle of nowhere. The Hole of Everything, Nebraska is a dream of the American Midwest and its open spaces-its parking lots and cornfields, its baseball diamonds, its slaughterhouses-sites of suffering and gritty miracles. Like the town it describes, Max Seifert's poetry is at once familiar and other-worldly. We never lose the sense that we are strangers in this town, tourists to the unmonumental in modern America. These poems lead us "violently, by our necks, to life." This poetry chapbook is the 2015 winner of the National Federation of State Poetry Societies Florence Kahn Award.
