Description
From Yahia Lababidi, a celebration of more than twenty years of poetry that, according to Chard deNiord, Poet Laureate of Vermont, "... resonates in plain-spoken yet dazzling poetry-sometimes epigrammatic, sometimes expansive-that betrays the eclectic transmissions of his myriad influences, from Hafiz to Kierkegaard, Dickinson to Kafka." From the Press 53 Silver Concho Poetry Series, edited by Pamela Uschuk and William Pitt Root.
