Hailed as 'A hearty weed in the garden of American poetry' Dave Morrison's poems have been published in literary magazines and anthologies, and featured on Writer's Almanac. 'Fail' is his eighth collection of poetry. "There is no voice quite like his. What shines in every poem is musical sound and rhythm, grittiness, reality, humor, and the rare ability to tackle serious subjects without taking himself too seriously." (Alice Persons, Editor and Publisher, Moon Pie Press) "Morrison's eye for detail and his razor-sharp sense of humor elevate his words into something visceral and anchored in the real world, whether it's in the past or the present." (Emily Burnham, Bangor Daily News) "By tapping into his tumultuous past, Morrison has created work that is not only technically sound, but viscerally engaging. His is no passive verse; it grabs you by the collar and demands your attention." (Allen Adams, themaineedge.com)
