Description

Book Synopsis
As much as they ponder, they celebrate in exact, careful, and loving terms the haunting and bracing stimuli from which they originate.

Trade Review
Like the night guard in the title poem of his new collection, Daniel Anderson takes us on memorial rounds with him, checking latches and looking into dark corners, sometimes surprised-often not-at what's to be found there. -- Graham Murtaugh Oregon Humanities
