He teaches at Sam Houston State University and is the director of Texas Review Press.J. Bruce Fuller's <i>How to Drown a Boy</i> is both a chronicle of hard living in the Louisiana of the poet's youth and a love song to the place he calls home. Read these poems to learn about fathers and sons, and about families making their way on the ragged edge of twenty-first-century America." - Patrick Phillips<br /><br />"Conceived by a desert exile imagination and constructed in contemporary psalmic linguistics, these are poems of every faith, every belief, and beyond. Fuller has given us what we are rarely capable of seeing: a glimpse into the terrifying beauty of being human." - Darrell Bourque<br /><br />"It's so rare I find a book of poetry capable of taking me back home that I hardly know how to react whenever I do. Every page of <i>How to Drown a Boy</i> does just that, like the sound of family coming in through the screen door or the feel of a cool breeze on my neck." - Jack B. Bedell
