Breath

by Robert VanderMolen

Overview

A wise, funny and sexy look at small town and city life in mid-America. Overheard conversations, witty observation (The older you get, the worse you look without money). VanderMolen is a delightful storyteller, and these poems will appeal to lovers of fiction as well as poetry, particularly fans of Hemingway's Nick Adams Stories.

What People are Saying About This

August Kleinzahler

“These poems by Robert VanderMolen are, in their ordering of local particular, their oblique, ranging memory, their curious, almost dream-like asides, among the most remarkable literature of our time. A large stillness radiates from them; and an uncommon depth, as well, that sends them into one's mind and keeps them there.”
