Two Men Fighting in a Landscape
This debut collection of poems tell of a highway miracle involving a Martin D-18 guitar; of Joshua Bell fiddling anonymously in a park underpass; of an interstate excursion ending in an ill-advised meal of fried watercress. Here are snapshots of the Bronx before Jimmy Carter visited Charlotte Street. Here too, a translation of the Anglo-Saxon elegy “The Wanderer,” replete (like the Bronx) with charred ruins and gangbangers’ ghosts.

Praise for "Two Men"
"The balance Christophersen achieves between verbal vitality and deep feeling is something rare in today's poetry." - Bill Zavatsky
"Bill Christophersen is a story-tell, and a good one, and - like all those accomplished in this mode - he knows how important the eloquent detail remains in bringing his renderings alive. In poem after poem these details flourish, not as contrived "poetic" images but as instances of the reality of the world he offers us." - Sydney Lea
