Review
"The poems in David Rivard's compelling and delicious new book do not smother you with grandiosity nor come creeping towards you bowed down in self-effacement. These are poems of a human scale; they are complicated, muscled with irony, and their wonderful voice is startling in its power to move, interest, delight."--Lynn Emanuel
I love these intense, brilliantly crafted poems. "Wise Poison" is perfectly pitched and uniquely American, a beautiful, angry, heartbreaking, celebratory, and powerful book. "Thomas Lux"
