Poisoned Apples is Wade Newman's long-awaited first collection of poetry.   In poems intimate yet universal, in metrical forms that faithfully adhere to tradition or enticingly stray, Newman celebrates and elegizes the human condition, conveying stories of longing, loss and love between the two sexes.  Newman's poems are accessible, but require readers who seek what lies beneath life's surface, where the "seeds of knowledge" bear our regrets and sorrows along with our yearning for revelation and redemption.  Newman, who gave the Expansive Poetry movement its name, now adds this debut collection to its emerging record of primary sources.



Praise for Poisoned Apples:

Wade Newman's poetry reminds us that the "I" of the poet is not necessarily the snobbish self-compliment of so many workshop products, but can be the all-seeing and tragic eyes of a Tiresias, who has, as Eliot says, "foresuffered all" and is too wise for self-esteem.  Such an "I" is as much at home in the most ancient myths as in the bitter-erotic streets of Manhattan....
                -- Frederick Turner, author of Genesis, The New World, The Return,  Hadean Eclogues and many volumes of critical writing, including The Culture of Hope.

Candid, compassionate, and withal, witty as hell!  The poems in Wade Newman's Poisoned Apples bespeak a determination to be truthful, a refusal to soften the focus or blur reality.  
                -- Kelly Cherry, author of Lovers and Agnostics, Rising Venus and God's Loud Hand, among many other titles including novels, criticism and nonfiction

Wade Newman has a voice and a style.  The voice is wise and knowing, though never intrusive, and it understands the way men and women talk to each other.  The style is a knock-out, sophisticated and armed with lyrical and narrative surprises.  Newman's cadences stretch from wonderfully fulfilled sonnets to an array of dramatic monologues to naturalistic description....
               -- Jack Butler, author of  The Kid Who Wanted To Be A Spaceman and Living In Little Rock With Miss Little Rock.
