Summary:

This captivating volume combines a tone of quiet eloquence with compelling forms to carry the tensions born from the fleeting connectedness apparent in all of life. Anthony Petrosky, in his third collection of poems, charts the longing and exasperation of desire and attachment. With intensely felt attention to specific gestures and occasions, he offers moving portraits of people and times kept close through a careful, often surprising questioning of memory and imagination. Petrosky's verse engages the spiritual and the joyful, the passionate and the peculiar, as well as the disturbing complexities of love, offering us small epiphanies from ordinary unpredictable moments.
