The poetry of Floyce Alexander has a great dark undertow one associates with the work of Lorca, Vallejo, and Pablo Neruda. It is erotic, politically charged, humane, sometimes angry, often tender and always seeming to come from deep in the earth, or deep in the history of the human struggle to love in the face of the brutality of systems, the ignorance of mobs, the fragility of the body, and the ordinary luck of the draw. This volume, bringing together work from his eight previous collections, makes clear, at last, the scope of Alexander's concerns and magnitude of his talent and importance.

Floyce Alexander was born in Arkansas and grew up in Washington State. He attended the University of Washington, where he studied with Theodore Roethke and David Wagoner.
