Scott Urban’s rare combination of macabre themes with everyday events has never ceased to intrigue me, yet this new collection provides unsettling stylistic twists with his inclusion of the horrific details of real-time events. With God’s Will, Scott taps in not only to his audience’s subconscious fears, but to its obsession with the immediacy of life, its hunger for intimacy and voracious appetite for “reality.” The poet’s masterstroke comes with his realization that this need for closeness is largely artificial, touching lives, as it most often does, via a TV screen or through the further disconnect of a web page. Read bite for byte and try to come through the experience unscathed. - G. Warlock Vance, author of THE MISSING NARRATIVE OF NEPTUNE
