"Laced with a hopefulness born not just of Patrick Rosal's tremendous gifts as a poet, but of his humanity."—Terrance Hayes

In his third collection of poems, Patrick Rosal continues his rhythmic march through a world in which violence and beauty mix all too often—a paradoxical world in which the music of Chopin gives way to a knifing, yet the funk of homelessness cannot stifle the urge for human connection.
