Dance From Inside My Bones

"An inside/outside dance by a brilliant mathematician/poet whose wisdom makes the everyday world shine and whose heartfelt joy fills you with happy cheer. A book of stunning poems like "Arrhythmia," "Entropy Is Increasing," "The Good Patient," "Dispatch to My First Love" with its shimmeringly ironic announcement about love being over: It's a good thing since loving a memory / is a terrible waste of paper. Or the poem about wanting what we can't have from which the title comes and shows the whole book to be spectacularly double-sided: If I could have, I would have learned how / to dance from inside my bones. Warm and witty, revelatory and mysterious, it's a book of charm and talent--readable and rereadable page after page." --F. D. Reeve
