Lucifer: A Hagiography
Winner of the 2008 Idaho Prize for Poetry
Lost Horse Press, January 2009
"With unflagging inventiveness and mordant wit, Philip Memmer’s Lucifer: A Hagiography explores the not-inconsiderable span of time between just before Creation and the End of Days, as experienced by God the Father’s other son. The cosmos that Memmer creates is both singularly strange and strangely familiar, and the character of Lucifer, a kind of existential hero for all time, instructs and delights us equally."
–Charles Martin

"Threat of Pleasure is a lucid, haunting, deeply gratifying book."
–Michael McFee
Sweetheart, Baby, Darling
Word Press, 2004
"This is Memmer’s first full-length book of poems. He demonstrates a level of skill, control, inventiveness, and a sense of music more common in a poet’s later books. He is definitely a poet to watch." –Steven Huff
