Description

In this new collection by poet and translator Charles Martin, a darkly comic vision engages an unpredictable variety of subjects in poems of astute technical assurance. Here we find a displaced snapping turtle, advertisements that look back at us, the link between classical Athens and a television quiz show, and a variety of other wonders, including the unsettling possibility of a poetry reading.
