Synopsis
A new collection from one of the leading poets of the younger generation Glyn Maxwell's THE NERVE follows on the heels of his controversial tour-de-force, the verse-novel TIME'S FOOL. In THE NERVE, his most accessible and richly varied volume to date, the reader will discover New England pastoral, political fable and surreal comic set-pieces, and experience it all through the eye and ear of a poet for whom the world seems to offer constant surprise and revelation.
