Pre Posthumous Poems

Praise for Pre-Posthumous Poems: "There is an inviting paradox about these poems. The ones about animals and the natural world reveal bracing human truths while the ones about people-about our desires, our terrors, and our losses-remind us that we are as vulnerable and momentarily beautiful as a seagull. Hussman allows all of these meditations to find their own spare, and elegant, poetic forms." -Carmine di Biase, distinguished professor of English, Jacksonville State University, author of Travel and Translation in the Modern Period and The Diary of Elio Schmitz: Scenes from the Life of Italo Svevo About Hussman's previous chapbook, Last Things: "First-rate" and an "engrossing read." -Kirkus Reviews
