Award-winning poet Jeffery McDaniel's first poetry collection

It takes genius to transcend the boring factionalism of U.S. poetry and that's what Jeffrey McDaniel's got: his affiliation is to the imagination. Fresh, provocative, non-doctrinaire, his poems are the kind I want to grow up to write. -Bill Knott, author of Outremer

In Alibi School, Jeffrey McDaniel rips the country's skull out, and says 'Alas, you poor slobbering sham of a place, screaming at you doesn't work, I shall explode your lies with concentrated metaphors...' -Bob Holman

Whether dissecting his family of origin (twentynothing, 1977, Where the Self Divides) or penning unusual love poems ( Trust) McDaniel's unparalleled ability to wield a mighty metaphor is revealed in every poem. This book contains the poem Grace, which the Poetry Society of America chose for their Poetry in Motion series to entertain public transit passengers in major metropolitan areas. His poem, Following Her to Sleep, appears in the Best American Poetry anthology.
