Every Hour Is Late - Hardcover

Brian Brodeur's Every Hour Is Late achieves an "art that conceals art." These verse-dispatches from deep within Indiana and Ohio offer a feast of poetic forms and genres rare in contemporary American poetry: dramatic monologues, blank verse narratives, Sapphics, tritinas, and rimas dissolutas. Here is a book set firmly in contentious political realities, yet informed by history and myth. Even his private subjects--fatherhood, family, faith -- resonate with the tensions of the current historical moment.
