A breathtaking new collection from one of todays boldest and most adventurous poetsColloquial and incantatory, the poems in Patricia Lockwoods second collection address the most urgent questions of our time, like: what if a deer did porn?

Is America going down on Canada? What happens when Niagara Falls gets drunk at a wedding?

Is it legal to marry a stuffed owl exhibit? What would Walt Whitmans tit-pics look like? Why isnt anyone named Gary anymore? Did the Hatfield and McCoy babies ever fall in love?

The steep tilt of Lockwoods lines sends the reader snowballing downhill, accumulating pieces of the scenery with every turn.

The poems subject is the natural world, but their images would never occur in nature.

This book is serious and funny at the same time, like a big grave with a clown lying in it.
