Parallel Press Publishes Rain Dance by Richard Broderick

Posted 7/15/11

MADISON, Wis. – In Rain Dance, the most recent chapbook from Parallel Press, poet Richard Broderick explores the idea of interconnectedness—and that without these connections, we are all lost. Now he turns and begins to leave. / Now she wraps her arms around him tightly / to keep from exploding into pieces.  

Rain Dance offers a probing examination of human nature and ultimately reveals that in the direst circumstances, an embrace of community offers us hope of redemption.

Richard Broderick is the author of Night Sale, a collection of short fiction, and Woman Lake, a collection of poetry, both from New Rivers Press. A recipient of a Minnesota Book Award, he is the former poetry editor of Minnesota Monthly and a finalist for the Robert Frost Foundation Award.
