Many Full Hands Applauding Inelegantly

"...a modern poetic stylist who dare not be ignored." - After the Pause
"...a pleasure to surrender to Mr. Demaree's tides and eddy's of language." - Dime Show Review
"...a tour de force." - Cultural Weekly
"...pulsing with life and all of the jagged undersides of the unseen..." - Anti-Heroin Chic
Darren C. Demaree's Many Full Hands Applauding Inelegantly is as masterful as it is subtle. In this latest collection, Demaree continues to expand and develop not only his power and voice, but the voice of a time and a generation. A transcendent unity runs through this tripartite collection of poems that can be taken individually as particles, or a moment on a continuous wave. Birth (A Violent Sound in Almost Every Place), Life (We are Arrows) and Death (All the Birds Are Leaving) are woven together on the circle that surrounds and unites all.
