Fool in a Blue House crafts carefully appointed rooms, both interior and exterior, alongside familial and romantic love, loss and near loss of beloveds, selves, and even neighborhood rabbits. Dwelling in contradictions-strength and fragility, humor and heartbreak, safety and threat-this book ponders impossibilities as solutions to its own predicaments, Perhaps it would be easier to write in a chorus. But these poems know that this is not the cure. These impossibilities are simply a whole herring dropped down a throat, a momentary pause before we dare to defy what the sky tells us and instead begin to tell ourselves that we can will the sky to give.
