Book Overview

Known for their lyrical intensity and thematic range, David Rigsbee's poems have appeared prominently in literary magazines for five decades, as well as in a dozen full-length collections. Watchman in the Knife Factory: New and Selected Poems features the key works of his career, gathering poems from volumes long out of print, as well as presenting a generous selection of work from the new millennium. As Peter Makuck noted, " Few other poets so powerfully capture both the ignorant cruelty and profound love we bear one another."
