Oklahomaography

In Joey Brown's Oklahomaography, crows, coyotes and thunder reflect the hard-won lives of the men and women who inhabit the land, and those who yearn to escape. These are splendid poems, filled with hard-edged narrative, the kinds of poems I like best. - Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Hank & Chloe, Bad Girl Creek, and The Owl & Moon Cafe These poems are snapshots and narratives of people, even whole towns, whose identities are drawn from their geography. Though most of them are set in Oklahoma, they are for anyone who understands the abiding connection to place. - Speer Morgan, Editor of The Missouri Review author of American Book Award winner The Freshour Cylinders"
