*Overcast*
Whether watching his mother keep vigil at his father’s deathbed, or
chiding himself for looking through an old photo album of his
wife’s first marriage and feeling like a cheap voyeur, this poet
brings an exhilarating self-critical eye to poems worth a
determined stroll through a gale to a bookstore.
