It's really about making something succeed. You have an instant relationship with stores, and with sales teams, and people that are in the place.

There is nothing “still” in the remarkably visceral poems of Alexander Long's third collection, Still Life, and nothing is at rest in these restless and edgy poems. Conversational and kinetic, these poems chart the traces left by the shifting overlays of the templates of literature, rock-and-roll, and contemporary culture.

This is a powerful and moving collection of poems.
