Synopsis

Comes To This is a landmark for the strange times we live in. More profoundly, Jeff Weddle is a word warrior of the soil and of the air we breathe. This new collection highlights his humanity and his tender moments but there is also his call for resistance in poems. Kind, moving, at times joyful, at times dark, Comes to This is an unapologetic, no-holds barred homage to Bukowski and Ginsberg. The battle against depraved conformity, monstrous greed, and coolcomplacency begins anew. Jeff Weddle’s poetry is armed and dangerous.

À propos de l'auteur

Jeff Weddle grew up in Prestonsburg, a small town in the hill country of Eastern Kentucky. He has worked as a public library director, disc jockey, newspaper reporter, Tae Kwon Do teacher, and fry cook, among other things. His first book, Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press (University Press of Mississippi, 2007), won the Eudora Welty Prize and helped inspire Wayne Ewing’s documentary, The Outsiders of New Orleans: Loujon Press (Wayne Ewing Films, 2007), for which Weddle served as associate producer. His poems, stories, and essays have appeared in dozens of venues, including the anthologies Surreal South ’13 (Press 53, 2013); Pressure Press Presents (Pressure Press, 2014); Stovepiper (Stovepiper Books, 1994) and Mondo Barbie (St. Martin’s Press, 1993). Weddle is the author of a poetry collection, Betray the Invisible (OEOCO, 2010), a limited-edition, fine press book handcrafted by master book artist Mary Ann Sampson, and a chapbook of Barbie poems, Not Another Blonde Joke (Implosion Press, 1991). He is an associate professor in the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alabama.
