Pure Luck & Good Fury

Humor, depression, anger, loss, and spiritual transcendence. David Jonathan Newman's first collection of poems, Pure Luck and Good Fury, artfully delves into the fragile state of the human condition. Provocative sentiment and satisfying imagery join forces to wage a war of words that is at once terrifyingly beautiful and painful. Pure Luck and Good Fury is a powerful first personal statement. The fire and grace of Newman's poems heralds a new era for contemporary American poetry.
