Self-Portrait with Expletives: Poems - Lena-Miles Wever Todd Poetry Series Award

“From these pages flows a warm and breathy voice that sings up the Tuscan countryside but also traffics in the quiddities of hardscrabble Americana: beers drunk, cars wrecked, guns fired, songs sung, lovers kissed and missed. It's as though there's nothing this voice can't say; it's personal, provocative.” - David Kirby.
