After I Fall

Here are four new voices in American poetry. Their poetry starts from the expectation that love and aging, work and family life will follow a clear and understandable path. But happiness is denied them as they discover cracks in the veneer of modern living. In these sometimes tender, sometimes sad, sometimes disquieting poems, they capture the texture of everyday life, the shifts of emotions, the desires, the hurt. First they made each other listen, now they will reach you.
