BRADY- WEAL-Philip Brady's Weal is the winner of the 1999 Richard Snyder Memorial Publication Prize. Brady offers a sojourner's panoramas and outstanding depth of field. The poems present themselves as majestic, audible, dangerous rivers with live banks... Weal, a word of contradictory geographies, ranging from common good to whiplash scar, rings here around a hundred years of world migrations. This is an unpredictable, demanding, strong book, each poem an exploration. -- Milton Kessler
