Huge thanks to book critic Dwight Garner for your thorough, generous review of Percival Everett’s poetry collections, including re:f (gesture), The Book of Training by Colonel Hap Thompson, Sonnets for a Missing Key, and Trout’s Lie!
“What’s Everett’s poetry like?” Dwight Garner writes, “The best of it puts on display his deep reading and his willingness, so often apparent in his fiction, to tinker with the reputations of characters both historical and literary. Few writers pay more rapt attention to the fact that history is, fundamentally, storytelling.”
