David Starkey published his first poem in 1988, and for the past 18 years he has been a fixture of the American small press. While Starkey's poetry has appeared in hundreds of literary journals and a number of limited edition books and chapbooks, this is the first time his major work has been collected in a single volume. Readers acquainted with Starkey's poems will recognize his wry voice, impeccable ear, and wide range of form and subject matter. New readers will find much to admire in the writing of this accomplished yet underappreciated poet.


Wonderful language… amazing lines. Starkey is an entertaining and resourceful poet.

— Paul Zimmer, The Georgia Review
