Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Twenty-four poems in nontraditional ghazal form. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes gruesome, the poems build on each other in echoing images and sounds then turn against themselves again and again. As always in a Jim Daniels collection, the reader becomes immersed in his language and the characters that people his poems, then are astonished with where the poem leads the mind. Edition Limited to 250 copies of hand-set Garamond Old Style metal types letterpress printed on Classic Columns text, hand-sewn, and covered in Royal Fiber in Driftwood.
"As long as fine literary presses continue to handcraft handsome books like these from Adastra, serious readers of the twenty-first century can rest assured, the book is alive and well." American Book Review"
