How Still the Air, Everywhere
How close the moon is this sweaty August night, how still the air, every- where, how utterly silent the piano in the hall. Jason Ryberg lives part-time in Kansas City, MO, with a rooster named Little Red and a billy goat named Giuseppe, and part-time somewhere in the Ozarks, near the Gasconade River, where there are also many strange and wonderful woodland critters.

Jason Ryberg is the author of twenty-two books of poetry, six screenplays, a few short stories, a box full of folders, notebooks and scraps of paper that could one day be (loosely) construed as a novel, and countless love…

A Secret History of the Nighttime World
by Jason Ryberg
Overview
Welcome to the world of Jason Ryberg—a world of true crimes and misdemeanors in the American grain—transformed through the poet’s retelling into miniature works of art. Reading Ryberg is like driving a pick-up truck across Kansas on shrooms, and his imagery, as fresh as a midnight S curve, takes the reader on a journey from city streets to wheat fields, navigating through a landscape bright with the "five-battery-flashlight of a moon." A Secret History of the Nighttime World, the twelfth book of poetry by Ryberg, delivers one great breath of fire directly from his heart onto the page.
