The Etruscan Team is pulling some poems from our backlist of talented authors to share with you. This week’s poem is by Rush Rankin.

The Etruscan Team is incredibly thankful to all of the authors we have the opportunity to work with.

Rush Rankin is the author of three poetry collections: Pascal’s Other Wager (2006), Bene-diction (winner of the Vassar Miller Prize, 2003), and The Failure of Grief, as well as a book on aesthetics titled In Theory. His poetry has appeared in numerous literary magazines, including New American Writing, Antioch Review, The Paris Review, The Yale Review, TriQuarterly, Pleiades, Mudfish, Gargoyle, Confrontation, and Hotel Amerika.

He holds academic degrees from Duke University, the University of North Carolina, and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. His teaching experience includes positions at Virginia Tech, the University of Iowa, the University of Missouri at Columbia, the Kansas City Art Institute, and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
