A Little Luck

Winner, 2012 X. J. Kennedy Poetry Prize In A Little Luck, Jeff Worley presents that rarest of commoditiesa voice encyclopaedic in its attentions, clever, self-aware, and deeply likeable. Worleys humour throughout is dark and smart, his phrasings elegant. I would give A Little Luck to the reader who loves the work of Ted Kooser or Rodney Jones. Id give this book to the reader who does not yet realise he loves poetry.Sandra Beasley, Final Judge
