About the Author Kevein Stein is Illinois Poet Laureate and the Caterpillar Professor of English at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. He is the author of the poetry collections A Circus of Want, Bruised Paradise, and Chance Ransom, as well as the critical studies James Wright: The Poetry of a Grown Man, and Poets, Worldly Acts: Public and Private History in Contemporary American Poetry. Product Description In his first book as the poet laureate of Illinois, Kevin Stein shoulders an array of poetic forms, blending pathos, humor, and social commentary. These poemsranging from meditative narratives to improvisational lyricsexplore arts capacity to embody as well as express contemporary culture. Stein embraces subjects as various as his fathers death, magazine sex surveys, Kandinskys theory of art, the dangling modifier, Jimi Hendrixs flaming guitar, racial bigotry, and a teachers comments on a botched poem. Presiding over this miscellany are ghosts of a peculiarly American garden of dreamers and beloved misfits, those redeemed and those left fingering the locked gate. Review Recipient of a Society of Midland Authors award for poetry published in 2005 (2006).
