The book centers around the sudden death of the author's long-time partner and travels outward to events in the world at large. Imagining themselves into multiple times, places, and lives, the poems comically explore the possibilities of attachment between people and the absurdity of death's sudden intrusion. Antic and often funny, these poems converse with all that we care about, fear, and fail to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngela Ball\u003c\/b\u003e's poems, translations, and essays have appeared in\u003ci\u003e Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOxford American\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Paris Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAtlantic Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Ploughshares\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e North American Review, The New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Field\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Colorado Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bennington Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
