The Morphine Fawn is a book that deftly interweaves a variety of traditional forms with free narratives that include Account Ledgers, Patent Applications, Rituals and Personal Letters to depict the boundless comedy, cruelty, excess and sorrow of Life in Festival. Set during the Anthesteria, a celebration of the opening of the wine casks and the return of the Dead, each love poem is a visitation sure to both provoke and enthrall.

“The judges of our "Discovery" / Boston Review poetry contest have asked me to tell you that they have very high regard for your work...”

 — Alexandra Wilder, Acting Managing Director, Unterberg Poetry Center, 92nd Street Y

"This is an astonishing piece of work. In today's mumbling, dumbed-down world an author that actually has competent command of the language! Amazing... First book I have sampled in a very long time that is worth the price. Bravo!"

—  Peter F Walsh, Amazon Review, 5 Stars
