Summary:

b?~It's about what can be bent, ' William Reichard writes in a poem called b?~Bonsai.' These poems, too, are about the ways we're bent by experience: by loss and by desire, by love and difficulty. William Reichard's poems are beautifully open to the b?~bent' in all its senses: the not-straight, the damaged, the curves the world throws us. These delicately etched lyrics are attentive to what Reichard calls b?~the intricacy of emotion; ' it doesn't surprise, then, that this poet has a particular gift for the love poem, for the text of tenderness, the body's b?~dazzling code.'"-Mark Doty, author of "Heaven's Coast: A Memoir"
