Beautifully-produced little collection of poetry that ranges from a mainstream but fine sample of X. J. Kennedy's work to; well, one of my mathemaku (with an author's explanation!). One of my favorite selections was Mark Fleckenstein's "Ritual As Morning Light":
Useless as we are, we are.
Morning again; light; God's laughter.
Coffee. Clothes making us up,
re-telling and forgetting the same story.
