D. G. (Greg) Geis wades deep into the quotidian, but it's not your everyday quotidian. He digs into those parts of our daily deeds and damage that other poets might think beneath their notice. Nothing, in fact, is beneath the notice of this cultural Inspector Hound: wry, witty, endlessly curious, and always entertaining in the way good humor is something you get now, something that gets you later. Slightly wicked, always irreverent, yet steepe...

They open ways we can ask transformative questions and turn ourselves into these questions that begin to tunnel through difficulty and despair into "another...

These fourteen-line poems give voice to the individual and collective experiences of women. They are windows into a stark otherworld, one filled with the raw materials of experience: sex, birth, cloth, pain. Spare and strange beauty marks the lives and worlds of these women, defined by their struggle for survival in the physical and psychological captivity of the domestic realm. The speaker moves between the singular and plural, sounding out t...

...begins by considering philosophical questions arising from the experience of desire and intimacy: What does love reveal about-and make possible within-the individual? Can we ever truyly understand another person's experience of the world around them? To what extent is the other ultimately inaccessible, a world unto herself?"--
