George Looney’s most recent book, Things Still Worth Trying to Do, is just out from Bluebonnet Books (Girard, PA), and is available to purchase.

“I admire George Looney’s poems. I love the “vanished rivers” and “whiskey-stained breath” that inhabit his poems and tell their stories. I love his world where “everything’s in motion” and the way his poems open into a world beside ours, one where everything is brightly, briefly poetry. In short, George Looney is one of the best poets working today. I read him “to stay in the poem and not to sleep.” -Al Maginnes, author of Fellow Survivors and Second Line
