Three long poems by Jefferson Hansen that mix day-to-day autobiography (about, for instance, a summer job); wordplay (e.g., "an intensity of tennis shoes"); reflections on language, epistemology, etc.; politics (like what Tonto would have done about Saddam)... a bird's cry that can't be borne in words; skepticism that "begins by realizing/ boundaries, say, between/ skin and feathers, language and music."--Bob Grumman
