From Pulitzer Prize-winner Mark Strand comes an exquisitely witty and
poignant series of prose poems. Sometimes appearing as pure prose,
sometimes as impure poetry, but always with Strand's clarity and
simplicity of style, they are like riddles, their answers vanishing just
as they appear within reach. Fable, domestic satire, meditation, joke,
and fantasy all come together in what is arguably the liveliest, most
entertaining book that Strand has yet written.
