Poet Jeff Gundy has been busy lately. In addition to releasing a new book of essays, he has been writing his seventh book of poems, Somewhere Near Defiance, coming soon from Anhinga Press.
Reviewer Kim Stafford, author of 100 Tricks Every Boy Can Do: How My Brother Disappeared, says, "Just as a river finds inevitable kinship between remote hills and a distant sea, this book employs the prehensile reach of poetry to link local wisdom and distant war, to bind sacred callings and daily life. Defiance against what's wrong is devotion to what's right, and for Jeff Gundy the path between is a poetry bristling with connections."
