Description

Here are poems in several registers at once, comic and elegiac, about contemporary life and its large intersections and personal interstices, from the public beaches north of Boston all the way down to South Jersey Cape, the birth of children, the deaths of parents, with some terrorism in between, and the parking lots of supermarkets in a rapidly gentrifying city.
