"Rohrer has an enchanting willingness to look outward, a willingness not to grasp the world using old means which have failed us, even if no new means present themselves ready-made."Judges' citation, the 2005 International Griffin Poetry Prize
Griffin Poetry Prize finalist Matthew Rohrer illuminates the modern plight: trying to figure out how to be a thoughtful citizen, parent, and person as the landscape of terror and history worms its way into our everyday existence. Unnervingly humorous, casual, and tender, Rohrer's poems help us investigate our lives as he investigates hisopenly and with a generous presence.
From "Dull Affairs":
How am I to concentrate
on the heavy and dull
affairs of state
with the sound of a baby having a dream
in the other room
