Winner of the 2017 Louise Bogan Award."It is not hyperbole to call Darren Demaree's Two Towns Over a game-changer. In these dazzling, risk-taking poems, Demaree drags us through the small towns of Ohio, towns ravaged by drugs: 'They are taking/ all of Ohio. It's a burial/ of the living.'

It is home: 'All fire/ & water,/ these people/ my people.'"--Maggie Smith, author of Good Bones
