Kevin Young, author of Ode to Pork, has a great website!

Where has he been all my life? I have read some of his poems here and there, but had no idea of the huge body of work he has written. He's prolific!

Ardency: A Chronicle of the Amistad Rebels, came out this year.

Previous books include:

The Art of Losing, 2010

Dear Darkness, 2008

For the Confederate Dead, 2007

Black Maria, 2005

Jelly Roll, 2003

To Repel Ghosts, 2005

And other books. He's won numerous prestigious awards. The titles of his books are so great, I can only imagine the wonders to await us in his poems. Kevin, if you are reading this, I love you! Call me!
