<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the winner of the 7th Annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize comes Counterpoint, a contemporary book of poems with many bizarre twists and zany turns. Alpaugh's subjects include POWs, salespeople, art, and the dead. His work has appeared in many journals such as Asylum, Exquisite Corpse, and Twentieth Century Literature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Counterpoint</em>, the first full collection of poems by David Alpaugh, was selected out of over 800 manuscripts for the seventh annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize by Story Line Press in 1994. The subjects of the book's contemporary, witty, bizarre, and often moving poems range from POWs and salespeople to art and the dead. Alpaugh's works speak to one another--child to adult, animal to human, ad man to poet, New Jersey to California, and past to present. He writes with affection and care for each of these points of unlikely connection. Harold Witt called Alpaugh "a unique voice to hear now and to listen for in the future." More than twenty-five years after <em>Counterpoint</em>'s initial publication, these words ring more true than ever.</p>
