The poems in CL Bledsoe's fifth collection are at turns funny and
tragic, self-deprecating and deeply personal, as readers have come
to expect from the author of the autobiographical collection
Riceland. In Trashcans In Love, Bledsoe continues to write about
the Arkansas Delta of his youth, where "we were...all looking for a
place/to stick our hearts for safe-keeping" while "the boarded-over
windows/of our mothers' eyes watched from graves half dug/but not
full yet." Ultimately, "we aren't looking/ for tomorrow, only an
eternal today."
