Spooky Action at a Distance

“All of these poems were written in a single year (2012), and are presented in roughly the order they were composed. Something both ordinary and extraordinary happened right in the middle of that year: I fell in love, and, astonishingly enough, the person I fell in love with also fell in love with me. Wonders never etc. So there’s a thread of sorts, beginning with a despair that wasn’t really despair resolving itself into a delight that nevertheless took shape in the shadow of that despair/not-despair. The resulting chapbook is now the shadow of that resolved delight.” – Gregory Crosby
