Zoo Music

Poetry. ZOO MUSIC marks another step in the Minneapolis Renaissance – William Waltz’s book, like those of his Twin Cities peers, storms over the American poetic landscape at the right time, sweeping aside today’s tired ultra-irony and hyper-humor in favor of ineffable strangeness and touching sincerity. Chosen by Dean Young as Winner of the Second Annual Slope Editions Book Prize. WALTZ makes sure poetry’s mysterious ways remain available and necessary; this debut collection wakes up one’s heart and one’s brain –Dara Wier. William Waltz is the editor of Conduit.
