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. 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.
A review of Rain Dance appeared in the July 2011 issue of the Midwest Book Review's Internet Bookwatch: "Rain Dance presents new ways of looking at the world through many others' eyes, and is highly recommended."
