All the Signs Were There - Paperback

by Melanie McCabe (Author), Roger Weingarten (Editor), Shannon Ward (Editor)

On behalf of all of us at Longleaf--and previous Longleaf Press Book Prize winners-- who helped read and comment on hundreds of manuscripts, I want to celebrate All the Signs Were There, the intelligence and range of Melanie McCabe's atmospheric poems and her unique and otherworldly ear for the language. We were riveted: "/the air that finds my lungs is chosen for its jade/ stillness. Each breath for its lull." - Roger Weingarten
