About Nicholas Molbert and GOODNESS GRACIOUS
Winner of the Foundlings Press Wallace Award, Nicholas Molbert's Goodness Gracious explores creation, distance, landscapes, and the passing of lives. As guest book artist Edreys Wajed puts it, "These poems are light as feathers, hit hard as bricks."
Charged with memory and desire, haunted by heaven and lineage, Nicholas Molbert's poems are sluiced with physical and spiritual longing, unexpectedly tender, sometimes funny, and always moving.
