Author Description

With Song of Napalm, Bruce Weigl established himself as a poet of power and lyric fury, whose work stands as an elegy to the countless lives dramatically altered by war. Collected here for the first time are selections from eight volumes of poetry spanning two decades, as well as Weigl's most recent work. Out of the horror of individual experience, Bruce Weigl has fashioned poetry that offers solace to disillusionment and bears transcendent resonance for us all.
