In The Sentence, Morri Creech interrogates our daily lives and experiences to examine the anxieties and despair that often attend our awareness of mortality. Through a variety of subjects, and through styles ranging from rhyme and meter to prose poetry, he takes an unflinching look at what it means to live in the shadow of the end, the common fate to which each of us is sentenced.
Morri Creech is the author of four collections of poetry, including The Sleep of Reason, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and Blue Rooms. He teaches creative writing in the undergraduate and MFA programs at Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina.
