""The Radium Watch Dial Painters" is a book of sheer power and range, poems that burn in brilliant flashes and with searing luminescence. There are great stories in here, flurries of fresh images and graceful turns of music and wit. Above all, you find Dan Butterworth's pitch-perfect gift for language, his acrobatic intelligence, his fierce decency. I loved this book." -Jess Walter, author of "The Zero" and "Citizen Vince"D.S. Butterworth teaches literature and creative writing at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. He is the author of "Waiting for Rain: A Farmer's Story."
