Poetry. Winner of the 2002 Bright Hill Press Poetry Chapbook Competition. "Now, from Johnston County, North Carolina, comes Possum, incarnate as the fittest, a perfect icon of human (and godly) imperfection.

From the ruined lost farms, Possum sees all, tells all, survives all - and all from his own small corner of the world.
