Honey Richard Carr First edition

Winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award. "Honey is a tour de force. Comprised of 100 electrifying microsonnets, Richard Carr's invention recalls Berryman's Dreamsongs, for brilliance and wit, but is more readable. Open to any page: language and image startle and delight, like 'Einstein's blown-fuse hairdo.' The whole sequence creates a narrative that becomes, like the Hapax Legomenon, a form that occurs only once in a literature." -Barbara Louise Ungar "Honey explodes the mundane and visits the extraordinary in extraordinary ways. -Kathleen Volk Miller, co-editor, Painted Bride Quarterly
