Praise for Malepoet."As a fellow restless soul and troubadour traveler, I love the moments here when Covington almost gives the road a good name, let's us sit with it for a minute, and then, delicately destroys its reputation again. It's that strange life of the hopeless wanderer he describes as "still looking for a home to leave." It's truck stops, "Condom machines and gasoline." It's honest, thoughtful, sometimes tender, often tough, this is a testament to a life "Mixed with gin and dreams / Little poetry magazines."Nathan Brown, Former Poet Laureate of Oklahoma, Winner of the Oklahoma Book Award"Some read to escape truths. Others do so to embrace them. The mad call of the wild in these poems written by PW Covington serves surrealistically to fulfill both desires and more."Tom Maxedon, Radio host and producer of "Word" a Phoenix-based literary arts podcast
