About the poet: L.J. Sysko is a Wilmington, Delaware-based poet who Pulitzer Prize Finalist Patricia Smith calls "a wildness and a weirdness... the risk-taker, the unveiler, the irreverent namer of things." Smith selected Sysko's manuscript for the Miller Williams Poetry Series (Univ. of Arkansas Press) and it's finally out In the world! For more on Sysko, check out her website: https://ljsysko.com/
About the book: THE DAUGHTER OF MAN has been called "goddam funny" & "a clinic In irony" by National Book Award Finalist Ross Gay and "among the most original being written today." Former United States Poet Laureate Billy Collins says, "Using the language of everyday to expose the nervous realities at work behind human behavior, Sysko uses bright language to make poems that are fun to read!” For more on the book, check out Publishers Weekly's review: https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781682262306
