You Can See It from Here by Jerry Wemple
A sense of place is very important in this first book of poetry which won the 2000 Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award. Wemple writes from that vast space on the map between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, a region of forests, coal mines, farms, and small towns. We are introduced to individuals who inhabit the area and visit the places that they frequent. They are products of their unique environments, and Wemple brings them vividly to life. The author makes even the bars and bigots sing. Other poems include more of the state and the nation as in the poem, "Half a Mile Off Everglades City, Florida."
Wemple, Jerry: - Jerry Wemple is the author of three full-length poetry collections (including You Can See It from Here, winner of the Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award) and two poetry chapbooks. His nonfiction work has been published in Ninth Letter, Ozy.com, and other venues. He teaches in the creative writing program at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.
