Of Whiskey and Winter

Peter Conners’ stunning prose poems are packed with keen sensitivity, dreaminess, and wit. I love his time travels, the vibrant layering of image and detail. This is language and vision I want to come home to again and again. -Naomi Shihab Nye

I don’t know what’s more remarkable about the poems in Of Whiskey and Winter, their exquisite music or their startling, acrobatic leaps. By turns manic and contemplative, zany and wise, his rollicking poems have the power to simultaneously challenge, illuminate and praise the illusive character of the world. -Gary Young

Peter Conners lives in Rochester, New York, and is an editor for BOA Editions, Ltd.
