Shahid Reads His Own Palm

Reginald Dwayne Betts

“Betts doesn’t just have a powerful story to tell. He is a true poet who can write a ghazal that sings, howls, rhymes, and resonates in memory years after it was first read.” —Jericho Brown, On the Seawall “…these poems in turn sear and moan, are impossibly restless and at times starkly silent.” —American Poet “There’s an authority in Betts’s voice that carries us, and his voice is governed by boldness and consonance.” —Devil’s Lake “…restrained though fierce talent…surprising and emotionally resonant…” —Publishers Weekly
