2021 Winner of the Kathryn A. Morton Prize in Poetry "The book is intimate, expansive, and in moments, willfully hopeful." -Victoria Chang, winner of the PEN Voelcker Award for OBIT Here are poems with music matched to matter, so that reading them often involves both swoon and startle: "When it folds open, the rule-less rile / of sky," Evans, writes, "the comets and giants. And also: / books, chamomile, and more kissing." Panoramic in time and space, Lives knows each of us, our ordinary lives and our occupancy within history and the universe, our yearning for connection: "And if I turned to you now, my one wet muscle run dry, would you / turn to me? And what else could my heart be for if not to try?"

In a quick minute in a public men's room, an unsuspecting young boy is wrenched from home and family by two cold-blooded opportunists. In light of this and more, Carter Conley has more than a few compelling reasons to keep popping prescriptions drugs. Her sister Patty has never recovered from the abduction of her son Si. Carter's husband Max was brutally taken from her in a car crash. Little does she know, but her troubles have just begun. False Perceptions is the debut thriller by C.J. Evans that combines intrigue, wildly inventive plot twists, and even a good dose of hilarity, which come together to deliver a thoroughly enthralling tale of love, betrayal, and more than a few devastatingly false perceptions. Still reeling from the tragic death of Max, Carter plods limply through life in Jennings, Louisiana with her beloved dog Pip, and it's all she can do to make it to the grocery store to try to keep from wasting away. However, her shaken psyche is just about to suffer another blow. The FBI contacts Patty with the news that they have located her son Si, who was whisked out of the men's room in a park years back. His return home is not the extent of the revelation. Carter is bent on getting to the truth of the matter. She is quickly drawn deeper into a world of savage players including Marvin Sneed, the head of a kidnapping ring, and his vicious counterpart Carla, who have cooked up more than a few sinister schemes involving young children. She soon discovers that nothing in her life is quite what it seems. That includes her so-called marriage as well as the confounding circumstances surrounding the loss of her missionary parents when she and Patty were teenagers. At the same time, Carter finds surprising support in an affable bartender named Drew, who she meets when retrieving Patty from the bar where he works. However, he isn't quite what he appears to be either. In the midst of old wounds and new dangers, she may just find a place of renewed hope, rich humor, and plenty of heart with the drop-dead handsome Drew- if she can make it to that place alive. For a spellbinding story that serves up laughs along the way, False Perceptions is a must for mystery lovers who like their thrillers with a twist of wit.
