In this collection, Bill Buege surveys the nostaglic hopes and exposed illusions of one man's long and varied life.
These funny, caustic, rueful poems cover a lifetime of travel, research, and observation, ranging from the struggling settlers of 19th century Kansas to present day Americans dreaming of the day they can (at last!) become a zombie, able to wreck havoc on the friends and acquaintances they most dislike.
Reading Stumble Into A Lighted Room made me fall in love with poetry again. This collection is wildly original. At once wicked and fun, cutting and gentle, sometimes hilarious and often crushing, reading Buege's work is witnessing a red tail hawk pursued by taunting song birds. Dizzying. I couldn't put this book down. Joseph Boyden, the author of The Orenda.
