Saving Lives
Long, digressive poems that leap from a hospital bed or a flea market to Victorian science, pulp film and the history of the telescope, then return to the person nearest the speaker. The method is a stack of facts held up against mortality. A book of discursive lyric rather than narrative, from a poet known for packing the cultural attic into a single poem.
