Summary:

"I Cut My Finger" is Stuart Ross' s first full-length poetry collection since his acclaimed "Hey, Crumbling Balcony! Poems New & Selected" (2003). The poems here show Ross' s ever-expanding breadth, from his trademark humour and surrealism, to pointedly experimental works and poems of human anguish. Here, a poet includes a letter threatening suicide in his submission of poems to a literary journal; a businessman dons flippers to swim along the sidewalk to his downtown office; the U.S. military follows a trail of red ants to glacial redemption; the writer finds profound joy in a tower of canned niblets. But beneath the slapstick exterior of so many of Ross' s poems there lurk dark threats and darker pleasures.
