Collection Agency, a new book from Michael Burkard, is comprised of
poems written in 1986 but withheld from publication until now. This volume
utilizes the unifying structure of a single year in the poet’s life
as an organizing principle. Burkard has been quietly accumulating one
of the most fascinating verse biographies we have, and in this book we
visit old territories in unexpectedly candid poems about alcoholism, beauty,
and the poet’s childhood.
