(Living in the Resurrection, winner of the 1994 Yale Serie...)
Living in the Resurrection, winner of the 1994 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition, is about the tensions between allegiance to the history and tradition of the author's birthplace in western Kentucky and a longing for a more expansive life beyond the confines of that dying culture. Crunk seeks to articulate and honor that which is sacred in the local, the particular, the mundane in relations with the land, with family, and with one's forebears.

(All the neighborhood kids agree that Billy Boyd's grandmo...)
All the neighborhood kids agree that Billy Boyd's grandmother is a wonder. She can build freight trains and spaceships, she knows intergalactic code, and she even plays kickball. Best of all are those hot summer evenings when Big Mama treats the whole gang to ice cream. Woody's ice-cream stand is all the way across town, and with Big Mama in the lead, the journey there and back again is always full of adventure.

(These intriguing and spare flash fictions of Tony Crunk, ...)
These intriguing and spare flash fictions of Tony Crunk, with inspired drawings by Sharpie artist Peter Wilm, combine into a surreal and tasty feast of language and art. Crunk, a Yale Series of Younger Poets winner, offers up characters with large hands, Bedouins, a man who cries himself to sleep, and giant rodents. It's a splendid world that Crunk has created and that Wilm has illustrated.
