"Deadman is a book predicated on the celebration of desolate beauty and the fragility of its adherents. Every line is as a sumi-e painting-rich with compact images the way deliberate poetry should be. Ultimately, with his craft, Bill Sheldon seems to be a careful, erudite machinist and the nuts, bolts, and washers he churns out serve to fasten intimate personifi-cation upon the lonesome airsurrounding the Deadman. In his book, Sheldon's comradery with the kenning turns isolation into a living breathing entity with which to converse and conspire. This is a powerfully relevant commentary in Kansas and its literature." -Matt Cooper, Poet and author of We 'til Death Do Part (2021)."Not only a fine (and funny) book of poems, but a 'rise from the grave' tale about being, fame, and all that can be found holy through rock music. The last time I had this much fun reading poetry was William Trowbridge's Old Guy: Superhero. As with that, this new book by William Sheldon never disappoints. Spend an hour. Rethink your life. Then go live it. And with added zest." -Kevin Rabas, Poet Laureate of Kansas, 2017-2019, Elizabeth's City
