Neck of the World : Poems

Neck of the Worldis the eleventh volume in the prestigious May Swenson Poetry Award series. In it, Daniel Rzicznek offers poems that, in quick angular language, capture the natural world and at the same time extend it into a surreal vision, sometimes dream-like, sometimes dark. Alice Quinn, judge for the 2007 Swenson Award, says this of Rzicznek's work: "Throughout, the language pulsates, always vigorous, by turns knotty and crystalline. . . . InNeck of the World,we have a poet with a striking new vision--challenging, rewarding, and bold."Rzicznek, F. Daniel is the author of 'Neck of the World : Poems', published 2007 under ISBN 9780874216707 and ISBN 0874216702.
