Here's to Greg Kosmicki for his latest book
Some Hero of the Past (Word Press, 2006).
The poet's at his best in these poems that give a penetrating gaze to personal
history and the overlooked world. Poet Carol Ann Russell puts it better: "In
this day of hotmail and blogs, Kosmicki is a poet of wily humility—worthy
guide to what is soulful and American." Others agree. Garrison Keillor has read
two poems from the book on The Writer's Almanac, one on
October 18th and another on
October 24th of this year. And the book debuted at #9 on the
Poetry Foundation's Contemporary Bestsellers List. Way to go, Greg! Greg
Kosmicki is the author of several books, including The Patron Saint of
Lost and Found. Click here for more
