Böcker av Todd Boss

Inspired by a delightful true story, when a nonverbal boy goes to the symphony, the beautiful music moves him to speech.

Increasingly, Todd Boss has been attracting attention, with poems in the Paris Review and The New Yorker and a series in Poetry. His first collection, set in the Midwest, alternately features a childhood Wisconsin farm, the record-breaking storm that destroyed it, and the turbulent marriage that recalls it. Love and wonder mingle in these lines.

Poems of wayfaring and wayfinding, recovery and discovery, from "one of the best poets of his generation" (Elizabeth Lund, Washington Post).

"[Todd Boss]'s poems generate their own rambunctious music and remind us `yes, / miracles happen.' "-Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Sure to be a classic, and the beginning of a long and glorious career."-Sherman Alexie

2012 Poetry Midwest Booksellers Choice Award winner "[Todd Boss] can make any rhyme feel like a concealed weapon." -Sherman Alexie
