Description
"A deftly scripted work of verse that demonstrates a genuine flair for the poetry of life and experience." -Midwest Book Review
Sucker Punches is a striking debut collection. With visceral precision and wit, Jeff Kilpatrick contends with the fleeting moments of everyday life, the turbulence of the creative process, and the liminal spaces that resist easy definition. These poems, at once candid and searching, ask readers to surrender to the inner mindscape of a man reckoning with (un)certainty, meaning, and the tangle of being human.
This is poetry with a left hook.
