NOMINATING LIBRARY COMMENTS

A wonderful story, complete with cogent lyrical insight, of a poet, with a severe case of writers block, compiling an anthology, and a personal life which is in shambles.

Compelling story of the way in which outcastes are compelled to adjust to the world and the pain that engenders.
