In these recentpoems, Meek is a master of his craft. His poems arebrilliant, fresh, and full of subtle surprises. That this newvolume of poetry has come out is a blessing. I have no hesitationin judging it one of the year?s best.'~James Chichetto, editor, The Connecticut Poetry Review~~~~ 'Poets are most important when politicians and advertisersare most energetically and dishonestly bending wordsagainst meaning, trying to fool us and sell us rather thandelight us and shock us into recognition. The best poems arethe antidote to lies and fraud, and false advertising. Ed meek?spoems, apparently humble and unassuming but oftenwonderfully surprising, show us what?s real and true, whetherit?s terrifying or funny as hell.'~Bill Littlefield, host of national public radio?s 'Only a Game.'
