Adam & Eve go to the zoo
Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo is the winner of the 2003 National Poetry Chapbook Prize. With excellent craft and a praiseful calm coupled with quietly passionate hope for humanity's ever-raising conscience, Jason Gray's lyrical verse delivers the reader into a place of bright possibilty. Like his "Red Panda" balancing itself on a branch as "the wind sways and the landscape shifts," this poet knows the word's gravity and yet is not pulled down by it. Adam & Eve Go to the Zoo is an extraordianrily mature and striking first collection. --C.J. Sage
