Yellowrocket cover

Increasingly, Todd Boss has been attracting attention, with poems in the Paris Review and The New Yorker and a series in Poetry. His first collection, set in the Midwest, alternately features a childhood Wisconsin farm, the record-breaking storm that destroyed it, and the turbulent marriage that recalls it. Love and wonder mingle in these lines.

"Boss’s writing aches with subtle music, insight, and clear-sighted compassion. . . . If you only buy one book of poetry this year, make it Yellowrocket." -- Christian Science Monitor
"Like Frost, Todd Boss uses the hardships and beauty of farm life to examine the rough fabric of human connection." -- Dorianne Laux. author of Facts About the Moon
