The Book of Joshua

Zachary Schomburg

Finalist:Oregon Book Awards -Poetry (2015)
Poetry. Zachary schomburg has delivered his latest work from a dark place, where little machines repeat in a hollow voice, this is only further proof of your badness. presented in a single narrative, THE BOOK OF JOSHUA is a sorry heart begged out of dreams, death & a horse's eye. It is an epic journey not only affirming that there is a difference between sadness and suffering, but that Schomburg is one of the most unusual poets writing today, pushing his work beyond our familiarity. These poems have a thirst for blood, but they don't yet know exactly what to do with their hands. THE BOOK OF JOSHUA calls out in hunger and loneliness, I didn't feel like living in anything not shaped like me anymore.
