|9780822959892|The Floating Bridge, David Shumate’s second collection of prose poems, transports its readers over the chasm between the mundane and the enchanted. We traverse one bridge and find ourselves eavesdropping on Gertrude Stein and her gardener. We take the night bus to Gomorrah to have a look around.

Another bridge awaits.| David Shumate| Pitt Poetry Series| Poetry / American / General Poetry / General

Marriage and parenthood, grief, spiritual renewal, community and country are subjects addressed with a satirical eye and emotional insight.| Stephanie Brown| Pitt Poetry Series| Poetry / American / General Poetry / General
