This book of poetry is brought to you by local author Greg Lobas, winner of the 2022 Dogfish Head Poetry Prize.
"Greg Lobas - in language both sinewy and lyrical - thrusts his reader into the private relationships and working lives of firefighters and front-line rescuers, a world that keeps us teetering on the brink between slapstick hilarity and unbearable visceral pain. It is equal parts head heart, and sheer, dauntless brawn. So casual are we, driving left of centerl, Lobas writes, lights and sirens/ shattering the afternoon./The world bows /to let us by. And as well it should. I've never read anything like it."
