Christian Knoeller, poet, author of Completing the Circle
American Bound rests firmly in a tradition of dramatic lives rendered through poetry, especially Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters. David Radavich paints lovely portraits that fill an American town with rich and moving lives.
Patricia Clark, poet, author of My Father on a Bicycle
This is poetry that matters. Radavich has a dramatist's gift of being able to evoke character with only a few words from a speaker's mouth: these are poems that come from the tongue, and like intimate, personal speech, invite us to speak back. Though the speakers reflect social movements and economic booms and busts, they are never abstractions or simply victims, but people telling their stories of gains and losses in ways that invite compassion, respect, and fellow feeling. This book makes me hopeful for the future of American poetics as part of our political discourse, as part of a common life that binds our diverse interests. If more poets had Radavich's ambition - to write for a broad audience, instead of only a few; to write about the world we live in and what we owe to others - then we would see people everywhere with poems in their pockets and in their briefcases.
Leonora Smith, poet, author of Spacial Relations
In praise of By the Way, by David Radavich:
David Radavich demonstrates how he has found the perfect poetic technique for the expression of his unfailingly interesting take on life. This is splendidly controlled free verse which takes the reader into fascinating alleyways that resolve themselves into neatly, though never glibly, turned conclusions. There are many 'Yes, yes, that's exactly how it is' poems . . . .
Adrian Buckner, Orbis, Summer 1998

We have two levels with over 40,000 titles covering virtually all genres with a particular focus on Americana and Western Americana. We also offer book/document restoration services (and in some cases, re-binding) When possible we try to use materials that match the period in which the book was originally created so that the alterations are as non discrete as possible. We are always interested in buying books, historical documents, movie memorabilia and misc. artifacts as well as other items of historical significance such as art, letters, diaries, maps and military-related pieces.…
