A Literary Guide to Washington, DC: Walking in the Footsteps of American Writers from Francis Scott Key to Zora Neale Hurston
Published by the University of Virginia Press in June 2018. With contemporary photos by Dan Vera, historic photos, and maps by Nat Case.
The Wishbone Galaxy is one of the best first books in my lifetime. I admire these poems' tenacious tactile qualities, their skillfully concealed craft, their density and intensity. Moving, passionate, insightful.
