Synopsis
In comical and complex poems, David Kirby examines our extraordinarily human condition through the lens of our ordinary daily lives. These keenly observant poems range from the streets of India, Russia, Turkey, and Port Arthur, Texas, to the imaginations of fellow poets Keats and Rilke, and to ruminations on the mundane side of life via the imperfect sandwich.
Whether remembering girls' singing groups of the 1950s or recounting a child asking his priest if his dog would go to heaven, Kirby has the ability to make us laugh, but he can also bring us to tears through our laughter.

Review
''Buoyant and cheerfully agnostic about the ultimate meaning of things. . . . Such recognition of the numinous and graceful response happens again and again in these poems as, repeatedly, he finds ordinary life--things like encountering the usual assortment of neighborhood dogs--blooming with significance because of the poem, the aphorism, the picture, the tune he brings to it. Seldom does art inform life, and life art, so rewardingly.'' --Booklist
