Pitch

Todd Boss is the author of three previous collections of poetry, most recently Tough Luck. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Poetry, American Poetry Review, and other publications. Still nomadic, Boss has most recently been based in Phoenix, Arizona, and Austin, Texas.

"Boss' poems generate their own rambunctious music and remind us 'yes, / miracles happen.'" "The poems ring clearly; 'pitch,' they recall, is a way to fall as well as a way to sing." "Boss flawlessly employs subtle music." "This is poetic form within and without that makes a true energy."
