By KYLE L WHITE (sycamore, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Above Water: Prose Poems (Paperback)
perhaps my favorite book of poetry. this is deceptively simple, humorous, dream-like and epiphanal. is that a word? first heard jenkins on Prairie Home Companion where he read some of his prose-poetry. i keep coming back to this book. robert bly calls him the master prose poet.
