On the Way to Putnam: New, Selected, & Early Poems

In these poems spanning the writing career of a top-notch poet, Brad Davis wrestles with darkness and celebrates the luminosity of the natural world. He grapples with the difficulties of faith in a cynical world. For the most part, he faces life with a cautious optimism. The poetry here is clear and graceful; it hits the mark. This is the work of a mature poet confident in his craft.
