Charles Harper Webb is a poet of contradictions: humor and heartbreak, depth and accessibility, playfulness and seriousness, raw energy and careful craft. His poems glorify the spirit, but also the flesh, exemplified by the liver, the \"organ whose name contains the injunction Live!... great One-Who-Lives, so we can too.\" Even at their darkest, their most outraged and sorrowing, Webb's poems affirm the world, and help us live in it gladly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of the 1999 Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry, Selected by Robert Bly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharles Harper Webb is professor of English at California State University, Long Beach, as well as a psychotherapist in private practice.
