Brock's "Voices Bright Flags"

Book-giving season is coming up fast, and Amazon is now shipping professor Geoff Brock's Voices Bright Flags, winner of the Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize from Waywiser Press. "The poems approach America from a range of perspectives - political, historical, and personal - and in a range of styles and voices, with each voice planting its own flag, as it were, implying its own America." This is Geoff's second volume of original poetry. His first, Weighing Light, won The New Criterion Poetry Prize.
