Haywire: Poems (Swenson Poetry Award) af George Bilgere
Heard GB on Garrison Keillor's radio show. Not sure if he is every man's poet but he sure is mine. Many of these poems hit home welling up emotions on recognizing similarities to my early family life. GB has a way of using standard English words that made me note how perfect they were in his sentences. Kind of like a poet would.... Will definitely read more.

great observer and great voice
Bilgere is great at the short poem. Striking and clear imagery, often with a profound twist. He writes in the tradition of Frost and Kooser.
Some excellent poems, a few quite hilariously funny, but .not as good a collection as some of his others.
