description: Rosey the Baby Killer and Other Stories is the most accomplished collection of verse yet from Vietnam veteran Bill Shields. Here Shields amplifies and adds new dimensions to the nightmarish themes he's presented in his previous works. Each piece is a story... of love lost, lust, death, resentment, pain, killing, and the unkillable power of clusters of plain, poetic words. It is "a sad little story full of food stamps", violence, scars and humor as "lives roll on."
