What an amazing collection. So tragic that we'll never see any more from Engman. His voice is unique, witty, modest and so congenial. And his "serious" stuff is powerful too. He's like a younger, hipper Billy Collins. English teachers: If you want "approachable" poetry to introduce students to the art form, much of Engman's is perfect!. It looks like a new copy It came very well packed. It looks like a new copy. This is one of my favorite books of poems. This copy will be a gift.
A posthumously published collection of work by an entirely original Midwestern poet.
