Book Description:
|
The poems in this collection, set largely in New York and New England, are occupied by the landscapes and debris of those regions. Objects are either rented or borrowed, stolen or abandoned, or stolen and then abandoned. The characters, employed and unemployed, are looking for a way out. They push against the limits of their world, only to be hurled back, saddled with the spirit and things of the places where they must live.
