Chris Green's Epiphany School, penned with all the wonder and curiosity of a wise child, is not a book for the timid, the slack-minded, the duped or sleeping. These are poems that hold us in their headlights and tap our backs in the dark, that beg us to notice life and death, the big and small moments of illumination in our lives. Green is a poet who writes with wings. His clear-cut honesty embraces his subject matter with reckless abandon. The poems range from gut-wrenching to heart-breaking, but, throughout the book, a sense of humor prevails. Each turn of thought and phrase arrives unexpectedly with a poignancy that touches on the revelatory. This is the Green movement we've been waiting for.

Chris Green's Epiphany School, penned with all the wonder and curiosity of a wise child, is not a book for the timid, the slack-minded, the duped or sleeping. These are poems that hold us in their headlights and tap our backs in the dark, that beg us to notice the life and death of our lives, the big and small moments of illumination. Green's language is unhurried, epistolary, his impulse the guy's next to us at the Cubs' game who snaps our picture when a foul ball lands in our lap or knocks us unconscious. Either way, he's got our back. --Maureen Seaton

Chris Green's Epiphany School offers shelter to animals. And death is a frequent visitor to the language of a poet who writes with wings. Also his poems to poets and poetry are a measure of his intellect as well as his respect for tradition. This is the Green movement we've been waiting for. --E. Ethelbert Miller
