Description
While the poems in Steve Straight”s new collection lead the reader “into the dark forest of memory / or onto the carnival ride of hypothesis, / or even right off the cliff of surprise,” they maintain a sure course through the din and distraction of modern life. Bits of news from the natural sciences, chance encounters, and even convicted felon and crafting queen Martha Stewart all fall under Straight’s observant eye. The result is a collection of conversational poems that lend a sense of wonder to the commonplace.
