| Summary |
"DEADMAN is a book predicated on the celebration of desolate beauty and the fragility of its adherents. Every line is as sumi-e painting--rich with compact images the way deliberate poetry should be. Ultimately, with his craft, Bill Sheldon seems to be a careful, erudite machinist and the nuts, bolts, and washers he churns out serve to fasten intimate personification upon the lonesome air surrounding the Deadman. In his book, Sheldon's comradery with the kenning turns isolation into a living breathing entity with which to converse and conspire. This is a powerfully relevant commentary in Kansas and its literature."--Matt Cooper, Poet and author of We 'till Death Do Part (2021). "Not only a fine (and funny) book of poems, but a 'rise from the grave' tale about being, fame, and all that can be found holy through rack music. The last time I had this much fun reading poetry was William Trowbridge's OLD GUY: SUPERHERO. As with that, this new book by William Sheldon never disappoints. Spend an hour. Rethink your life. Then go live it. And with added zest."--Kevin Rabas, Poet Laureate of Kansas, 2017-2019,Elizabeth's City."--Back cover |
