    Every person's life is a journey. Some folks just travel in a darker realm. Whose Name I Did Not Know tells the story of Frank Kohler, a former college football star, who is drifting down a river of booze. He's lost his way, his money, and his pride. Frank's resorted to bumming drinks and taking jobs that are more than a little illegal. Then one job goes horribly wrong and he's faced with the toughest decision of his life, either commit the ultimate crime or spend the rest of his life in prison. Every man makes mistakes, and Frank understood mistakes had to be paid for. He just never dreamed the payment would be so great.

    Buddha in My Belly offers many surprises: word by word, page by page. There is much poetry in this prose poetry. The form''s inherent hybridity helps create the off-kilter world we are asked to navigate. The language is lively, at times melodic, at times madcap. At every turn, one finds a mischief in, as well as mastery of, the medium. The funny here is downright serious; the moribund gives over, more often than not, to the comedic. This debut collection is a delightful discovery. -Eric Pankey, author of The Pear as One Example: New and Selected Poems 1984-20
