- Description:
- David Bottoms served as state poet laureate of Georgia from 2000 to 2012. His first full-length volume of poetry, Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump (1980), brought him national attention. The poems are set in a landscape of southern woods and honky-tonks, "good old boys" and semi-outlaws.
