Description for Foiled Again Hardback. Series: New Criterion Series. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 224 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 267.
The seventh winner of the annual New Criterion Poetry Prize is J. Allyn Rosser's Foiled Again.

At the heart of Rosser's work is a kind of crazed optimism-a quixotic, wryly cheerful pilgrimage through the maze of bafflement, loneliness, and love that constitutes our experience.
