Winner of the 2005 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry. Hodgen's third book of poetry. The poems roam through history, religion, man-made disasters, baseball, pop culture, and Wal-Marts, with remarkable completeness, maturity, and dexterity.
Heaven & Earth Holding Company" contains a plentitude of delights. Like little stories told in the night, these poems are clear narratives crossed by mysterious shadows. And Hodgen's tone occupies a singular place at the intersection of funky wit and true feeling." --Billy Collins
