Alumnus Kevin Honold's Book, Men As Trees Walking
Click on over to Amazon.com and pre-order MFA Fiction 10' alumni Kevin Honold's first book! Kevin's book of poems, Men As Trees Walking, won the 2010 Ohio State University Press/The Journal Prize Award. He also holds an MFA in Poetry from Purdue.
“In Men as Trees Walking Kevin Honold takes a hard look at cityscapes, work, and the lives of soldiers from ancient Greece to the contemporary Persian Gulf. Few poets are as comfortable dealing with history or as clear-eyed about the present. This is work of precision, maturity, and insight. Kevin Honold takes on things that matter, and what he has to say is articulate and compelling.”
