Synopsis
Now in paperback, Stan Rice's most recent collection brims with dynamic, unpredictable poems that delve into the darker reaches of humor and experience. In Poetry Flash, Andy Brumer wrote: "Rice's title, The Radiance of Pigs, captures in a brush stroke the essence of his poems...the dialectic between spirit embodied, perhaps entrapped in matter, and matter burning and glowing with spirit".
