As its title suggests, Resurrection Fail is a worthy paradox, blending John Wall Barger 's enviable economy of style with a luxury of spirit that glimmers beneath both his speaker's fetching enthusiasms and deep sorrows.

These poems capture how the world's beauty and brutality are bound together; that we fail and-if we're lucky-find the will to resurrect ourselves over and over again.

But for all this poet's clear seriousness of purpose, there's a vivid, often witty life force here that reminds me that I'm glad to be alive.

I really loved getting to know this book and I bet you will, too.
