M L Weber is the winner of the International Poetry Forum's US Award, judged by the acclaimed poet Muriel Rukeyser, which resulted in his first book, 48 Small Poems, published by the Pitt Poetry Series--this book completes his poetic arc, clearly defined in the books since: Circle of Light; Early Poems; The Wanderings of Kukai and others. Publishers Weekly said: "Weber is a gentle-voiced shaper of distilled impressions . . . he is a poet who has a unique sense of enoughness."
