These witty poems ache to save the world--infusing light, energy, and humor into everyday life. Padgett's title poem asks: How long do you want to go on being the person you think you are? / How Long, a city in China. With the arrival of his first grandchild, Padgett becomes even more inspired to confront the eternal mysteries with a wry, rueful honesty. This elegiac and witty collection illuminates the world at large and at small--from the Great Wall of China to the radiant details of the everyday--and brings wonder and pleasure with it.
