Bill Holm might not dig being referred to as "One of the feistiest, funniest, and truest voices in contemporary letters," but, in fact, that's what some folks say. He's been listed on Hungry Mind Review's 100 BEST 20th-Century American Books of Fiction and Nonfiction. He's, if anything, a prolific writer, known for his

• book of poetry about Minneota, Boxelder Bug Variations
• for his book of travels-in-China essays, Coming Home Crazy,
• for his book, The Music of Failure,
• another book, The Dead Get By With Everything
• yet another book, Landscape of Ghosts,
• and a bunch of other lesser known stuff (at least by me)
• and for his most recent book: The Heart Can Be Filled Anywhere on Earth: Minneota, Minnesota.

Here are a couple of reviews of Holms' work:

• My own review

And here's his review of someone else's work.
