The final collection by the late Jason Shinder, one of the finest of our new poets (Gerald Stern)

I close my eyes and try to remember
when I was unopposed, when I started to die,
buoyant, fragrant, shuddering with love.
--from Before

Jason Shinder's last poems are his moving testimonies to poetry, love, and friendship. With power, clarity, and disarming humor, the poems confront grief and mortality with a humility and fortitude that come only with hope, stupid hope. Stupid Hope is Shinder's wry, penetrating, and wise farewell.
