Description

One of the New York Public Library's 25 "Books to Remember" in 1997 Lux comments on the absurd, the pathetic, and the commonplace in our culture, writing with compassion as well as satire. He is "singular among his peers in his ability to convey with a deceptive lightness the paradoxes of human emotion," says Publishers Weekly, and Robert Hass, in the Washington Post Book World, takes special note of Lux's "bitter wit, the kind of irony that comes with a quick, impatient intelligence."

This career-spanning collection delivers witty, satirical, and deeply felt contemporary American poetry about:

Dark Humor: Lux finds the unsettling comedy in everything from a man in a chipmunk suit to a public execution, blending the macabre with the mundane. Poems about Everyday Life: A backyard swingset, a 1957 refrigerator, or a torn window shade become subjects for profound and surprising observation. Witty Poetry: Experience the "quick, impatient intelligence" praised by critics, where irony and insight sharpen every line. Accessible yet Profound: Written with a deceptive lightness, these poems welcome all readers while exploring the deepest paradoxes of human emotion.
