Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. For the past couple decades, A Maxwell has published small artisanal pamphlets and chapbooks collecting poems, epigrams, lists and loose taxonomies--roughly every other year--on his homemade PRB imprint. These have circulated among close friends and other writers in vanishingly small numbers. CANDOR IS THE BRIGHTEST SHIELD collects several of these into a single volume, emphasizing mutually rehearsed themes of quotation, material memory, paternity, animal grief, and the commons.
