Full of Clewell s distinctive blend of narrative and lyric, as well as his unabashed, idiosyncratic sense of wonder, these poems often spring from unlikely sources: Adam and Eve s Paradisal do-over at the Jersey shore, the misguided promise of tinfoil hats, Uncle Bud on the Moon, Debbie Fuller on Pluto, debatable Bigfoot nomenclature, Richard Nixon s social-media rejuvenation, and a Nebraska policeman s run-in with space aliens who tell him, We want you to believe in us but not too much.
In Almost Nothing To Be Scared Of, David Clewell s most expansive work yet, readers will discover a multiplicity of new ways to take heart surely no small thing in a world where we re too often asked to take what we d rather not.
