The Poets
is a novella in the form of a census. It is a cavalcade of poets real and imagined. Young poets take their first steps into print and find a voice which they attach to their name. They travel through their middle years-marrying, making babies, divorcing, winning prizes, losing face. And at last they age, burnishing their reputations and settling scores as they face their readers' scrutiny and their own mortality.

The Devil and the Dairy Princess: Stories
"It's rare to find a genre-defying work that is by turns-and sometimes all at once-absurdly comedic, straight-faced satirical, psychologically insightful, and unexpectedly heartbreaking.
is such a work, and readers are bound to see-somewhere in its fun-house mirrors-their worlds, their neighbors, themselves."
