"A piercing and formally intelligent collection, Another Man weaves narrative urgency with lyric pressure to create a charged extended meditation on what it means to be confronted with death and absence and still find life. The poems thrum with intensity and the precision of a brilliant mind, aware." - Airea D. Matthews, judge, Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry
