American Rendering: New and Selected Poems: Hudgins, Andrew

American Rendering by Andrew Hudgins is a masterful collection of poems that showcases the author's unique voice and perspective.

With a generous selection from Hudgins' six previous volumes, this book offers a comprehensive overview of his distinguished career spanning more than twenty-five years.

The poems are rich with religious allusions, irreverent humor, and a dark and violent eroticism that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

Mark Strand praised Hudgins' work as "full of intelligence, vitality, and grace," with a "beautiful oddness" that charges even the most mundane events with an eerie lyric intensity.

This collection confirms Andrew Hudgins as one of the few poets of the American South who can be both solemn and sidesplitting in a single poem, making American Rendering a must-read for poetry lovers everywhere.
