What is a person to do upon finding out that his older brother has six
months to live? What is a father to tell his young sons about the
everyday violence, inequities, and injustices of the world? What is a
husband to do when confronted with his domestic foibles and failings?
What can poems possibly offer us in the face of unanswerable questions?
Deke Dangle Dive explores illness, fatherhood, brotherhood, and
masculinity through a variety of lenses, including ice hockey,
contemporary culture, and the natural world. This unique collection
considers how poems can speak to us and through us when all seems lost.
