    <body><![CDATA[A great book of poetry!  Trigilio's eclectic mixture of themes (that shift from popular culture, politics, spirituality, and family)along with his amazing ability to shape an image and invoke an essence (or lack of essence) makes this a book you'll go back to over and over again.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In this collection, selected by Joseph Millar as the winner of the three candles first book prize, Tony Trigilio deftly weaves cultural references as varied as Hawaii Five-O and Lee Harvey Oswald into a stunning collection that forces us to re-evaluate our own lives. Whether he's describing a ballgame on the radio or an auto-responder from the White House, we know we are in capable hands. Amy Gerstler writes that he maintains &quot;perfect spiritual equilibrium,&quot; and Alan Michael Parker continues: &quot;This book is full of peace and dynamite.&quot;]]>
