A New York Times Editors' Choice book from the author of the award-winning Tap Out - a gritty, insightful debut (Washington Post) - Edgar Kunz's second poetry collection propels the reader across the shifting terrain of late-capitalist America.
Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry. The virtuosic central sequence explores the untimely death of the poet's estranged father, a handyman and addict, and the brothers left to sort through the detritus of a life long lost to them. Through lyrical, darkly humorous vignettes, Kunz asks what it costs to build a home and a love that not only lasts but sustains.
