Description
By turns serious and playful, irreverent and tough-minded, the poems in this collection combine plain-speaking eloquence and a sparkling linguistic energy. The title poem is a quiet meditation on the nature of love and fatherhood, with digressions on belly-buttons and the like that are both hilarious and harrowing.
