If Not for the Courage

Poetry. "Everyday life in the household and memory of Daniel Morris's suburban Jewish professor-poet and father of toddlers has rarely been rendered with the energy, good humor, and luminous detail we meet in Daniel Morris's IF NOT FOR THE COURAGE. These poems are at once hilarious and heartbreaking; they take us straight to the scene of the crime, allowing us to witness the most absurd and agonizingly funny moments of daily routine against the backdrop of unrelieved media blitz. The courage of Morris's title is evident throughout"--Marjorie Perloff.
