Know about the book -

Strange Wood is written by Kevin D. Prufer and published by LSU Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0807123501 (ISBN 10) and 9780807123508 (ISBN 13).

Strange Wood contains verse remarkable for its fearless insight. The first poems in this lush, lyrical collection are populated with infants and adolescents, while the middle section gives way to bewildered, misguided adults, who are futilely attempting to understand and conquer the myriad difficulties of modern life. The last poems are concerned with deaths — in the family, in history, and in the abstract. In this astounding debut, Prufer reminds us of the fragility of life in a world where “everything’s / the chance for flying / failing somehow,” and loss is the hardest truth of all—“the body blooms, unfolding / then is gone.”
