Award winning poet (Florida Authors and Publishers Association President's Book Award, The Eudora Welty Prize), Jeff Weddle, returns with a new collection: Dead Man's Hand. Weddle tackles the problem with words exhausted by outrage. His cast of characters - cats, dogs, the child in our heart, the moon gone dancing as a piano spills waltzes - ask stories of time, a muse, imperfect but enough to earn a bow in an empty theater. This is poetry sha...
