Our Lands Are Not So Different

In Our Lands Are Not So Different, Michael Bazzett's second collection, Bazzett follows his distinct voice--nonchalant, urbane, and recklessly sardonic--toward a place wedged between the embarrassment of carnality and the inadequacy of civility. In its endless desire to find kinship and understanding--not only with an other but also with itself--Our Lands... asks what to do when the part of the self that feels most estranged is the part of the self that feels most authentic.
