About this book

"This is the most complete selection of work by 2005 Texas State Poet Laureate Alan Birkelbach ever put in one volume. It brings together selections that represent his more recognizable pieces, work that has only been available in journals, work that has only been available in books that are out of print or unavailable, plus a generous selection of new work. It represents the period from roughly 1990 to 2015. Stylistically it covers a wide ground, ranging from southwest poetry to children's poetry to a free-verse, narrative voice"--ECIP Summary.
