Poet  lands book deal with major publisher
Major publisher picks up  collection
By Mary Ann Grossmann 
 

Boss, who admits he started writing poetry "to woo girls," has a right  to be 
proud of his achievement. Most American poets are published by small  
publishers or literary presses, and even experienced poets are not often  published 
in hardcover. 
 
"I would have been happy to just have my first collection published —  
period," Boss said. "I'd have been happy with a small press. I certainly would  
never have sent my manuscript to Norton. I believed them to be out of my league.  
But all kinds of important people were talking about me at the right time, and 
 it all came to a head when they got Norton's attention."
