description: In Tulip Farms and Leper Colonies , Charles Harper Webb's poetry goes anywhere, memorably presenting the human animal in all its wondrous foolishness and beauty. No issue of contemporary life, be it mundane pop culture or metaphysical high art, (not even poesy) escapes his rapiers. Charles Harper Webb was a rock guitarist for fifteen years and is now a licensed psychotherapist and professor at California State University. He has written five books of poetry, including Liver , which won the 1999 Felix Pollak Prize, and Reading the Water , which won the S.F. Morse Poetry Prize and Kate Tufts Discovery Award. He lives in Long Beach, California.
