In the tradition of dirty realism and literary minimalism, a contemporary American poet sheds light on the unseen aspects of domestic life.

In his second collection of poetry, Jon Bishop looks at the underbelly of family life and relationships. With an unflinching eye, Bishop shows the impact of domestic violence on a child who bears witness, the pathos that precedes the end of a romance, and the sense of loss we feel when the career that we have worked for and the house we once called home slips away from us. With insight and dark humor, in free verse as well as metered, Bishop's poetry offers a stark, shrewd look at the inherent calamities of modern life and relationships.
