Additional information
by Randall Mann (Author)
Political and sequined, Deal: New and Selected Poems contains the most memorable of Mann's previous five collections and presents new poems of disco, lament, and formal invention.
Timestamped by surprise and exhaustion, and filled with the everyday indignities of being alive, Deal: New and Selected Poems affirms Randall Mann, in the words of Garth Greenwell, as "among our finest, most skillful poets of love and ruin."
