A spry collection of poems reflecting on art, the aging body, and the experiences of a lifetime.From author James P. Lenfestey comes a playful new collection of poems exploring everyday amazements. “Speak to me, bone, / of floating, ” he compels the hyoid, hidden in the throat. “I love you, letters, ” he confesses to our alphabet. Part travel journal, part curio cabinet, this archive of delights does its best to capture the oceanic “rumble and wash” of life with a “frail net of words.”Lenfestey odes crows and ankles, tennis and jaws. He uplifts the ordinary, finding grace in surprising places: King James, cabbages, Hewlett-Packard. In poems that vary from Neruda-esque concision to the leisurely musings of the Romantics, he celebrates art in its many forms—from Rembrandt to Springsteen and beyond. Here, no subject is too small or large for the space of a poem—everything is “strange and virtuous, ” even the humble left hand.Rhythmic, jovial, and eminently approachable, this collection is a love song to the world—and all its complex inhabitants.
