Snowman
R.J. Keeler
The poems in Snowman are full of intelligence, humor, and craft. I found myself through Keeler’s love of language and ability to capture broad experiences – from the scientific to the political to the personal – moved one minute and laughing out loud the next. A book like no other, brimful of uniqueness and surprise. - Yvonne Higgins Leach, poet-author of Another Autumn
