GREG McBRIDE (editor). Welcome to Innisfree 8. We continue our series of Closer Looks at the work of a leading contemporary poet, this time the poems of Dan Masterson. For this special issue honoring him and his work, Dan has shared with us a set of authentically gritty poems that arise from his lifelong interests in boxing, drumming, and Catholicism, as well as an autobiographical essay titled Sticks & Fists & Rosaries, which illuminates the origins of these poems.
