In his debut poetry collection, Great and Small, Josh Dugat deftly maps the terrain between the intimate and the infinite, drawing on the hymnal echoes of Psalm 104. With formal dexterity and keen observation, these poems shift from backyard curiosities to cosmic marvels, from a pilot light's "cat's blue pupil" to a whale's "abyssal plains." Grounded in Texas landscapes and Alabama life, Dugat's precisely observed verses balance technical skill with emotional depth in meditations on the microscopic to the massive. PRAISE FOR GREAT AND SMALL: In formally deft poems that often read like songs and prayers, Josh Dugat pays devotional, hoverfly attention to the full gamut of creation, from mustard-seed minutia (the "cat's blue pupil" of a gas pilot light or the "mica wings" of an insect caught in a windshield's crack) to sublime, leviathan immensities of nature, belief, and love (Goliath's "majestic" hands, the "abyssal plains" of a dying whale). A fetus grows in the immense and growing ocean of its mother's womb. Even large words hold smaller ones, ("listened/lists" and "vice/device"), and all realms-the great and small-exchange their secrets. This breviary of a debut collection offers lessons in how to live. - Lisa Russ Spaar, author of Madrigalia: New & Selected Poems The poems in Josh Dugat's Great and Small are as playful in language as they are heart-shaking in implication. I appreciate this poet for the way he keenly observes the things of this world in one hand while grasping toward the wider meanings with the other. - Carrie Fountain, author of The Life Josh Dugat's Great and Small is a first book, and its variety shows the all-roads-at-once exuberance that characterizes debut volumes. What makes Great and Small so interesting is that most of those roads lead to the southern landscapes of Dugat's childhood and current life. He evokes his everyday world with crafty intelligence and gentle lyricism. The book has many poems, all quite different, that surprised me, such as "Six Months Before Marriage," "Bookmarks," "Rodeo," or "Setting the Leaf in my Grandmother's Table." Each made some moment of consciousness, great or small, unforgettable. - Dana Gioia, author of Meet Me at the Lighthouse It's always struck me as a highest aspiration for poetry to yearn after, what William Wordsworth called "some philosophic Song / Of Truth that cherishes our daily life." In Great and Small, Josh Dugat sings toward the very ideal of that philosophic song, cherishing our daily life in poems of rich music and delicate rhyme. Alive to the conundrums that riddle our contemporary world-anxious technologies, lamentable injustices-Dugat's poems also pulse with mythic precedent. The mind feels a strange responsibility to think itself toward misery, but here, in these wonderful pages, the intelligence is what learns to tremble with joy. - Dan Beachy-Quick, author of Arrows ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Josh Dugat lives with his family in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. His poems appear in journals and magazines including the Literary Review, TriQuarterly, and America. His teaching and creative work have been recognized with fellowships or residencies from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States. In addition to writing, Josh enjoys working in the garden, baking bread, and making woodblock prints.
