In Small, Imperfect Paradise, Dallas Crow unflinchingly explores themes of love, sex, growing up, and growing older. The spine of the narrative is the speaker's progression through a relationship, from the early possibility and romance, through marriage and parenthood, and on to the painful dissolution. The titular poem identifies a moment of stillness in this progression, where two realities exist, one aching, and one idyllic: that of the husband and wife, whose relationship is over, and that of the sleeping children, who do not yet know. The small, imperfect paradise that Crow writes toward is shattered in Separation: Like a home movie played backwards, Crow intones, the gifts / are rewrapped and taken away, the guests / sidle awkwardly out, and then your children leave, / smiling and waving. In this collection, Crow creates a Mobius loop that mirrors the human experience; the poems wind through startling pain and realization and then loop back to hope and love again and again, each experience simultaneously fractured and precious.

For thirty-two-year-old Sarah Chizeck, marriage was not an option, but an expectation. She was raised to believe that a woman's main focus is to get married and start a family, and she put everything else on hold to accomplish this goal. So when she finally marries her boyfriend of five years, Sarah and her family are ecstatic. But underneath Sarah's smiles, something else is lurking. Sarah's career and personal interests were not all she put on hold to pursue marriage. She also put her feelings on the backburner and buried her emotions. But when she reluctantly goes to Hawai'i for her honeymoon, these things come to the surface, and she is both pleased and alarmed by the sensory experiences she encounters. Terrified by her attraction to a handsome young concierge, Sarah is forced to confront her new feelings, as well as what she previously ignored, and she ultimately comes to shocking revelations about her upbringing, marriage, and future. Imperfect Paradise tells the compelling story of Sarah's internal awakening and delivers a powerful message about hope, happiness, and finding your place in the world. A classic romance with a contemporary twist, it is sure to appeal to fans of modern, liberating fiction.
