"Legible Heavens explores what the most intimate forms of experience reveal about our most cosmic concerns, and vice versa. Its four sequences act like compass points to orient a human landscape. On one axis, "Star Chart for the Rainy Season" laments love lost, appealing to the biblical assertion that "love is stronger than death, and passion more cruel," in contrast to "Material Implication," which celebrates love found, in sonnets of desire insistently "glowing against the dusk." On the other axis, "All the One-Eyed Boys in Town" treats love as perdition, the speaker imagining his life as "a match scratched down your wingbones," in contrast to "Synopsis," which treats love as salvation, reinscribing the biblical gospels (canonical and apocryphal alike) to "solicit a miracle I must not expect.""--BOOK JACKET.

In paired essays about poetry in the world and the world in poetry, Demonstrategy finds poetry’s pulse steady and strong.

Welcome to Coors State University, a cash-strapped college that sold naming rights, academic programs, and, ultimately, its soul to a beer company just to keep the lights on. At Coors, the engineering professors are expanding the stadium, criminal justice faculty are the campus cops, and the history profs sell popcorn at concession stands. It’s the world turned upside down—yet not very far from the truth at today’s big state schools. Big Time is—ruefully and hilariously—a novel for Our Time.
