Much Possessed

Chosen by Billy Collins as a winner in the International Book & Pamphlet Competition

Much Possessed is informed by the truths and illusions of story, by the fictions of history and by the purposes of true naming. From the Fall of Man to the fall of a boy, these poems concern themselves with vulnerabilities and resilience – of the natural world, its creatures and its people – and the need for a kind of faith in the face of their fragility.
