Publisher's Synopsis

Why should you buy this book of poetry instead of someone better known, like Mary Ruefle or Robert Frost? Because if you email me to ask what the blue curtains mean, I'll tell you. And won't that just impress all of our English teachers?
The peregrine dreams descend with their claws.
Under the coastline, all those skeletons sleeping so peacefully,
like Pompeii lovers crowded the floor.
You remember the days when the stars dripped
dropping the future into our ear?
The past lulls around behind us, and in our dreams,
we tiptoe right past the edge of that old mill and slip upwards.
Mine, they're all Pennsylvania skies.

These are some poems. I tell you they're sad not because I think they are. But several of my friends who told me these poems are sad. Then they looked at me in that long, slow way that means they learned something new about me from reading these poems.

I think they're sad like when you've had a bad day and you got a cafe and cry with one of your friends. Like sure, you're sad, but doesn't everyone get sad sometimes? And when you're sad, don't you want to read poems?

Maybe that's just me.
