"Choice Words combines new poems with those Randy Biasing wishes to reprint from his six collections to date. This selection traces the making of a self and a mapping of the world in poems about the double life of writing, of finding the language that gives personal history the permanence of art and lets it be relived in memory, whether the experience is growing up in a Bible Belt suburb during the Atomic Age, going West to California, settling back East in New England, the death of parents, the birth of a son, or spending thirty summers exploring Turkey."--Jacket.
