Publisher's summary

A New York Times Editors’ Choice book from the author of the award-winning Tap Out–“a gritty, insightful debut” (Washington Post)–Edgar Kunz’s second poetry collection propels the listener across the shifting terrain of late-capitalist America.

Temp jobs, conspiracy theories, squatters, talk therapy, urban gardening, the robot revolution: this collection fixes its eye on the strangeness of labor, through poems that are searching, keen, and wry. The virtuosic central sequence explores the untimely death of the poet’s estranged father, a handyman and addict, and the brothers left to sort through the detritus of a life long lost to them. Through lyrical, darkly humorous vignettes, Kunz asks what it costs to build a home and a love that not only lasts but sustains.

Gorgeous

I wish I could slip this book of poetry into mailboxes of people across America. Edgar Kunz is the rare poet for both those who think they hate poetry and those who have dedicated their lives to the love of poetry. Kunz’s language is spare and muscular, unflinching and erotic and tender. Somehow both direct and exquisitely subtle. There is much to admire here. The middle section— the title poem— is astonishing. As is the penultimate poem. It was a pleasure to hear him read his work aloud. I plan to relisten and reread and preorder whatever he writes next. Thank you for your art.
