David James

Just published by March Street Press, David James' Trembling in Someone's Palm. The book consists of 36 prose poems by our alumnus, a Michigan author, whose most recent chapbooks include I Dance Back, and I Will Peel This Mask Off. Peter Stine, editor of Witness, writes, "These wise and humorous prose poems stun us with their illuminations of family, love, marriage, loneliness, sex, and creativity. James is a master of metamorphosis, literalizing his metaphors to recover the wondrous in the quotidian. Read this original book."
