Go Giants, Nick Laird's stunning third volume of poetry, is full of
"epic ambition." In a collection that's "easily his most accomplished to
date...[Laird] gives everything of himself in a poetry as expansive
and thought-provoking as his considered response to an infinitely
complicated universe needs it to be" (The Guardian). Laird boldly
engages with topics ranging from fatherhood and marriage to mass
destruction and the cosmos. Go Giants is a brash, brave, and wildly
imaginative new collection.
From Go Giants:
Go in peace to love and serve the.
Go and get help. Go directly to jail.
Go down in flames. Go up in smoke.
Go for broke. Go tell Aunt Rhody.
Go tell the Spartans. Go to hell.
Go into detail. Go for the throat.
