Synopsis

Jacob Rakovan's The Devil's Radio broadcasts the elegies of so many, in a voice that lies down with them in their graves, touches their bones, and knows their stories. Cast against a backdrop of Appalachia in exile, Rakovan's collection of poems mines the dark veins of life, love, and death.
