Jeff Shotts is an executive editor at Graywolf Press. I could go on and on about the fine list of authors he has worked with and the awards many of those books have won. However, Laurie Hertzel's Star Tribune piece on him. Does a better job. You can live a life without knowing who [enter name of poet] is. But it is impossible to live a life t...
