Fiction Poetry
With a twenty-eight-year career at top city papers, Tucker is on the New Jersey Star-Ledger team that won the 2005 Pulitzer for breaking news. As Lola Haskins praises, "His poems know how important words are, so they don't waste them . . . they penetrate to where people really live . . . so refreshing in our hot and selfish times." With a seasoned journalist's gaze, Tucker finds beauty, pathos, humor, and poetry all around us.
