Rise Up
Matthew Rohrer
(Author)
Description
"Equal parts punk rock and pastoral, Rohrer has] a voice that seems unearthly in its ability to be detached and simultaneously tender."--American Poet
Approaching pleasure and terror with the same searching and determined curiosity, Rise Up traverses political, natural, and domestic landscapes with gentle agility. Beautifully crafted surfaces give way to sincere depth.
Matthew Rohrer is the author of A Green Light (2004, shortlisted for the Griffin Prize), Satellite, and A Hummock in the Malookas. He has appeared on NPR's All Things Considered and The Next Big Thing.
