The Armpit of Desire explores internal and external realities with
desire as the backdrop and central reference for the human
condition. Siders can lure you in with a conversational, rapid-fire
delivery, but then subdue you with a confident and reflective, if
not suggestive, voice. He is quick to turn a phrase, yet control is
maintained throughout, but just barely, and you get a sense that
there's always a degree of risk-an idea or emotion taken too
far-but he pulls it off at every turn, almost to your surprise.
Siders reveals his versatility in some of the standouts in this
collection, including The Right Light, After Before, Offering, Last
New Look, Wet Paint, and the title poem. Perhaps the most
provocative, clever, and stylistically risky poem is 5 Cracks,
whose unforgettable personalities evoke a sense of both bravado and
surrender. The appeal of this collection is its inclusiveness, its
glimpse into the various guises of desire, its unapologetic
insistence that we step over our usual / ten-dollar worn-out
excuses, trip over / the unknowable, and pretend / we understand
the reasons / for our disillusionment.
