"Here is a singular book that speaks in the voice of a generation. Saint Friend, Carl Adamshick's second collection, is a freewheeling carnival of celebrations, elegies, narratives, persona poems (one in the voice of Amelia Earhart), and a handful of short lyrics spiked with a desperate humor"--Page 4 of cover.

"...the moon laying its light on men
abandoned
to their immediate selves"
***
"It is the solace of a shadow
lost on black water."
***
"Growing up
I talked to the road near my house
when it was barren and straight miles
were buried under an eternity of moonlight."
***
"It's what we don't
have words for
that grows lonely within us."
We are all less lonely because Adamshick has given us some of the words with simple and profound eloquence.
