Perhaps you'll recognize yourself among the habits our poets uncover where "Frozen foods prove the/ kitchen lacks scruples." Or where "The trash can held twenty-six empties this morning." Or "slept each night curled around her shape, big/ toe slipped over ankle bone like a latch." Or someone who "collected tough guys/ mesmerized by her breast implants." Perhaps "buried alive/ In the dormant dregs of procrastination"." Or maybe "keep clicking and clicking like a kid / licking ice cream. Or recognize "a lie stood rigid as a stop sign."
In this collection, thirty well regarded poets from across the country make us consider our authentic selves in light of the habits we exhibit.
It's a revealing good read
