The stunning classic from the 6th Illinois Poet Laureate
Everything this poet touches is volatile--the poet himself, the people and world around him, ideas and mythologies, the ghosts of memory and the dream of possible futures, all seem to burst into fragments. Mark Turcotte uses poetry to gather up the pieces--the shards of joy and grief, peace and doubt, strength and temptation, questions and answers--as he tries to define and rediscover what is lost when everyday life becomes explosive.
