<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The first broad retrospective of August Kleinzahler's career, <i>Sleeping It Ofƒ in Rapid City</i><i> </i>gathers poems from his major works along with a rich portion of new poems that visit different voice registers, experiment with form and length, and confirm Kleinzahler as among the most inventive and brilliant poets of our time. Travel--actual and imaginary--remains a passion and inspiration, and in these pages the poet also finds "This sanctified ground / Here, yes, here / The dead solid center of the universe / At the heartof the heart of America."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Offbeat, off hand, subtle, and unsettling . . . Longer acquaintance with Kleinzahler's verse brings greater admiration." --<i>The Voice Literary Supplement</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>August Kleinzahler</b> was born in Jersey City in 1949. He is the author of ten books of poems and a memoir, <i>Cutty, One Rock. </i>His most recent book of poetry, <i>The Strange Hours Travelers Keep</i>, was awarded the 2004 Griffin Poetry Prize. He lives in San Francisco.
