His Whiting Award and Witter Brynner Grant were earned, as were appearances of his work in The Iowa Review, Future Earth Magazine, American Poet and elsewhere.
It's ten dollars and change. If I haven't convinced you, google around, see for yourself. Who's complaining? Anybody? Disappointed customers? Buy the book. Hell, the cover is worth ten bucks:
