In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our
extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary
daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of
India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations
of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane
side of life via the imperfect sandwich. Whether remembering girls'
singing groups of the 1950s or recounting a child asking his priest
if his dog would go to heaven, Kirby has the ability to make us
laugh, but he can also bring us to tears through our laughter.
