Odd Lots, Scraps and Second Hand, Like New by Will Wells

Winner of the 2016 Grayson Books Poetry Contest By turns funny and deeply moving, this collection offers a journey of three generations. European Jewish immigrants spar across a holiday table. Methodists reel at the election of a Catholic president. Their families inter-marry, and the result is a poet who is "whole cloth composed of scraps." These poems are formally graceful and compassionate. Together they detail and comprise a rich American heritage of love and its misfires, what the poet dubs "the failed d étente called family." —Benjamin Grossberg, author of Space Traveler 978-0-9982588-1-2 To order through Amazon, click here: Odd Lots, Scraps and Second-Hand, Like New To order by mail, fill out a check to Grayson Books for $15.00 per copy, plus $4.00 shipping and handling, and send to: Grayson Books, P.O.
