A new collection from a Whiting award and National Poetry Series

winner. Thomas Lux has called Roger Fanning ""an American original... whose

poems are so pure, so piercing, so simple, so distilled that reading

him is like taking a drunk-with-language dive into a moonlit lake on a

night you believe you will live forever!"" Fanning writes surprising and

evocative poems that are filled with humor and ingenuity; Mary Karr

says he ""tunes us in to those minuscule instants of revelation that can

keep life from being a long zombie convention."" This new collection of

poems, Fanning's first in more than ten years, in part chronicles a

period of time when he suffered a break with reality, and continues his

investigations into the drudgeries, the disappointments, and the joy of

our daily lives.
