Publisher's Synopsis
This collection spans ten years-2015 to 2025-of Solonche's short poems, those with twelve lines or fewer. "These short poems are an extraordinary amalgam of wit, close observation, humor, and clear-seeing. Each one singles out and illuminates an ordinary moment-ordinary, that is, until the poet explodes into a miniature epiphany. Easy of access and frequently profound, J. R. Solonche's poems induce in me a state of delighted surprise." (Chase Twichell, author of Horses Where the Answers Should Have Been: New and Selected Poems)
