*Moon in a Mason Jar* and *What My Father Believed*

"One of the finest new poets to come along in years: strong, imaginative, and resolute."-- James Dickey "An acute eye for authentic detail and a subtle ear for the rhythms and cadences of real speech, and what he has to say is worth hearing."-- Booklist "Robert Wrigley's poems of testimony and memory cast a fierce, clarifying, and ultimately healing light into the dark reaches of the American psyche."-- Edward Hirsch "Invigorating narratives . . . [an] abundance of intellectual and aesthetic rewards." -- Prairie Schooner "Against the inchoate and mortal powers, Wrigley's poems are whole."-- Stanley Plumley
