Elliott: A Biography in Verse - Paperback

by Jason David Peterson (Author)

Elliott is an experiment in biographical verse. It does
not lead you through the tunnel of the character's
experience with a bright light and comforting
narrative, but asks you to follow by the feel of walls in
the dark and the recognition of something familiar
just a few steps ahead. What could be called an essay
on male identity in the modern age is communicated
here with the same tension that underlies its thesis.
