Carl Adamshick's Saint Friend (McSweeney's) is that rare book that speaks in the voice of a generation. The voice comes from an acclaimed young poet who, after working years in obscurity, was feted with the prestigious Walt Whitman Award for his first collection, Curses and Wishes. This, his second book, is a freewheeling explosion of celebrations, elegies, narratives, psychologically raw persona pieces (one in the voice of Amelia Earhart), and a handful of punchy lyric poems with a desperate humor. Saint Friend is, as the title suggests, a book exalting love among friends in our scattered times.
