<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>"Deadman </em>is a book predicated on </p><p>the celebration of desolate beauty </p><p>and the fragility of its adherents. </p><p>Every line is as a sumi-e painting-</p><p>rich with compact images the </p><p>way deliberate poetry should be. </p><p>Ultimately, with his craft, Bill </p><p>Sheldon seems to be a careful, </p><p>erudite machinist and the nuts, </p><p>bolts, and washers he churns out </p><p>serve to fasten intimate personifi-</p><p>cation upon the lonesome air</p><p>surrounding the Deadman. In his </p><p>book, Sheldon's comradery with the </p><p>kenning turns isolation into a living </p><p>breathing entity with which to converse </p><p>and conspire. This is a powerfully relevant </p><p>commentary in Kansas and its literature."</p><p> </p><p>-Matt Cooper, Poet and author of <em>We 'til Death </em></p><p><em> Do Part (2021).</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Not only a fine (and funny) book of poems, but </p><p><br></p><p>a 'rise from the grave' tale about being, fame, </p><p><br></p><p>and all that can be found holy through rock </p><p><br></p><p>music. The last time I had this much fun </p><p><br></p><p>reading poetry was William Trowbridge's </p><p><br></p><p><em>Old Guy: Superhero</em>. As with that, this </p><p><br></p><p>new book by William Sheldon </p><p><br></p><p>never disappoints. Spend an </p><p><br></p><p>hour. Rethink your life. </p><p><br></p><p>Then go live it. And </p><p><br></p><p>with added zest." </p><p><br></p><p></p><p><br></p><p>-Kevin Rabas, </p><p><br></p><p>Poet Laureate </p><p><br></p><p>of Kansas, </p><p><br></p><p>2017-2019, </p><p><br></p><p><em>Elizabeth's City</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
