In Curses and Wishes the short, simple lines add up to a thoughtful book possessed with lyrical melancholy, a harmony of sadness and joy that sings: \"May happiness be a wheel, a lit throne, spinning \/ in the vast pinprick of darkness.\" By the close of this ambitious work the poet has inspired readers to see the multifaceted effects of our human connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarl Adamshick received an Oregon Literary Fellowship from Literary Arts and is a cofounder of Tavern Books.
