This is a book of great depth and insightful analysis. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I wish it recieved more attention from universities. An absolute pageturner and all other suitable cliches. As true as anything written.

I loved the book Billy Bob Possum! I don't know why peoplearen't dashing to review it! The possum, Billy Bob, is a hilariouscharacter. His adventures in this book are pure creativity by the author. I'd wish that the author would write another! I won't tell you anymore about the story. I don't want to give it away. Read this book!

These poems are from Hamer's memories of his Southern Childhood, which are then woven into his dreams and insights of his present life in Northern California. He speaks of Vietna, the nature of evil and identity, both sexual and racial, his father's military life, family, and loss. These are moving, heartfelt, universal stories that only a poet of this talent call tell so well. This book will stay with you long after you put it down.
