Interconnected poems in voices of a band of explorers—an epic of memory, hope and questioning.

Reverse Rapture is an intimate, book-length account of a band of explorers sifting through the artifacts and sensations of our times, all the while listening to and taking care of one another. In awe of everything, they, and the poems that recount their adventures, create a gorgeous web of lyric possibility.

Reverse Rapture was selected by Stephen Rodefer to receive the annual Poetry Center Book Award. The award has been given by the Poetry Center at San Francisco State University annually since 1980, to a book of poetry by a single author published in the prior year.
