The first broad retrospective of August Kleinzahler's career, "Sleeping It Off in Rapid City" gathers poems from his major works along with a rich portion of new poems that visit different voice registers, experiment with form and length, and confirm Kleinzahler as among the most inventive and brilliant poets of our time.
