Poetry. Whether about the moon or hotel sex, politics or poppy seeds, Alan Michael Parker's poems are always tender and eccentric and nuanced. In his eighth collection, with metaphysical fortitude the poet continues to deliberate--in all sorts of poems, some unpunctuated, some in prose, and some the first-person lyrics well loved by his longtime readers--upon what our daily lives mean. And how do we sing and praise and grieve all at once?

DESCRIPTION-Whether they're about the moon or hotel sex, politics or poppy seeds, Alan Michael Parker's poems are always tender and eccentric and nuanced. In his eighth collection, with metaphysical fortitude the poet continues to deliberate-in all sorts of poems, some unpunctuated, some in prose, and some the first-person lyrics well loved by his longtime readers-upon what our daily lives mean. And how do we sing and praise and grieve all at once? ‘What sly elucidation we find here, and what unexpected philosophy. Parker turns over the credos by which we live the way a child turns a toy over in her hands, assuming nothing, open to sense and serendipity. I praise Parker's lightness of hand, a tonal subtlety born of the confident master. '-Beth Ann Fennelly. ‘[His] poems prove as precise as they are whimsical. Parker moves gracefully between wit and intimacy as he traverses history, masculinity, domesticity, and the restlessness of the human spirit. The Ladder illuminates the rapture of daily experience with unceasing intelligence. '-Tina Chang. inventory #42831.
