Summary
Love, science, and politics collide in this sharp assessment of who we are now, in a generous selection of work by the award-winning poet.The terminator–the line, perpendicular to the equator, that divides night from day–is the organizing concept for this collection, which examines a world where “pert, post-apocalyptic / entertainment trades have trod the pocked / planet raw.” Kenney’s division of light verse from darker poems serves to remind us that what makes us laugh is often dead serious…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Kenney’s work is as alive and thrilling and fully human as anything I’ve read. It’s the result of an extraordinarily curious mind and a world that is deeply felt—and it somehow includes us in that mind and in that experience. I read these poems and I see and think and (most astonishing of all) feel more acutely.” —Jason Whitmarsh, Poetry Northwest
