Poetry. "There's much to be learned here. At this long moment--this book--in Garin Cycholl's continuing project the prairie's a verb ('light cracked and/ prairied'), the landscape of the Midwest 'a haggard trophy'; these pages tangle exquisitely with the varieties of distance and from South-of-70 to the city of the big shoulders and beyond, the work teases belief out of chrome, tours the nature of vipers, and traces (and burns) the blue in green. Rafetown Georgics is a confidence of practical matters (rural and otherwise), a jukebox of voices telling wonders, an astonishing book"--C. S. Giscombe.

<p>Poetry. Winner of the Transcontinental Poetry Award for an outstanding first book-length collection of poetry or prose. "Human physical traceries, voices, and stories haunt this book. The story of the soil alone gives these interwoven poems their essential reminders: we make our lives, if we are lucky, with perceptions that open us and are then folded, each into the next. Cycholl's vision is austere but vivid. Here is a world where roadmaps are alive; where ditches give birth to miniscule evolutions of the organic life-force; where golden birds' skyward passageways invite us to swift flight andblessed return"--Judith Vollmer.</p>

Poetry. "Cycholl's descent in HOSTILE WITNESS into America leads us through baseball parks and boxing arenas, along the banks of rivers and back alleys to smoke-filled room political deals as only a poet of Cycholl's power could manage. The collection is masterful and epic—and ultimately essential"—Bill Allegrezza. "With an anger that cauterizes the wound, Cycholl has plumbed the depths of darkness and corruption in recent times. He lives with our good songs and knows our most radiant light as well as our compromising and disabling impoverishments. It is with a profound compassion that he reveals our vapid will to be cold and do harm. And crucially, HOSTILE WITNESS lays bare our possible terrifying future, so as to help us navigate a way to a better place"—Roberto Harrison.
