Overview

Rodger LeGrand is an excellent poet whose work keeps getting better and better. The language of LeGrand's poetry moves from surprise to surprise. Always there is a shuffling between clarity and mystery, precision and ambiguity, humor and darkness.... -Stephen Dobyns, Pallbearers Envying the One Who Rides Poetry instructors could spend entire sessions on what makes [LeGrand's poetry] so right. Many of these poems reek of death, and they accomplish one of poetry's goals: to tell us how to live until we die. -Danny Romine Powell, The Charlotte Observer Many of the poems in Rodger Legrand's poetry...are like sweet liquid disguising bitter medicine-until the aftertaste kicks in. As he picks his way along the narrow and treacherous boundary separating acceptance from surrender, LeGrand adds rich imagery and clever metaphor to that currently popular disclaimer, ""it is what it is"". -Darrell Laurant, The Kudzu Kid, Inspiration Street, Snowflakes in a Blizzard
