2018 CHAPBOOK CONTEST WINNER

Exit, Stage Left, by Robert L. Penick Exit, Stage Left
 By Robert L. Penick


"Penick is gritty. Like the photographer who finds beauty in abandoned houses and cracked surfaces, his work makes the reader appreciate the sweat, dust and failure we brush against, then turn our minds from. He is the tour-guide of the ignored. He demands a broadening of our humanity and he does so with hope, precision, and humility."
—Cliff Wieck
author of Hagiography and Bestiary


"Within the pages of Exit, Stage Left, Penick over and over again pulls forth these distilled, crystalline shards of loss and hope and an unflagging, quiet dignity in the face of the whirlwind."

—Keith Rosson
author of The Mercy of the Tide and Smoke City



"These hard-hitting poems roll into a reader's consciousness like a 'great wheel of pain' and stay there, leaving us breathless."
—Sandy Coomer
author of Rivers Within Us and editor of Rockvale Review
