Lucifer

A Hagiography

Philip Memmer

$16.95

“Lucifer is on a non-linear trajectory, revolving its readers through the profane and the pious swinging door of heaven and earth. Memmer’s collection, with a few pitches and an unexpected saint we can all root for, has the power to provoke, enlighten, and unsettle. The paradox remains the same–so much is at stake in these poems, and so little–but Memmer has managed to give us an original and remarkable passageway.”–M. L. Smoker
