Written with a fresh and liberated perspective, this collection of poems is dedicated to writers and artists Cox admires: Saul Bellow, Anton Chekhov, Vincent Van Gogh, and Walter Benjamin. Particularly influenced by the intoxicating presence of the physical world, this work explores all the senses and what one critic called “anticipatory elegy,” the accepted knowledge of change and loss. While acknowledging the inevitable change and decay in life, his poems maintain a freshness of a writer set free in a world that before constrained him.
