Stephens, Alcohol Poems, Green Dreams, The Brooklyn Book of the Dead "These poems celebrate the broken things around us until they glisten as torches to light our way . . ."-Ravi Shankar, Pushcart Prize winning poet and Founding Editor of Drunken Boat "I cannot think of another series of poems that brings the gorgeous generous but also fragile and risky world of the ocean so forcefully to life.
