Count Four.

Count Four, winner of the Tampa Review Prize for Poetry, is a book about trying to reconcile the conflicting elements of one’s identity and attempting to understand and articulate the forces that are shaping it. Many of the poems in the collection were written over years Keith Kopka spent as a musician in and around the East Coast punk scene. These poems try to make sense of how the things and people Kopka loves most in this environment are also what are most likely to destroy him.
