In clear, dynamic verses that disarm then strike, Jared Harél investigates our days through the keyhole of domesticity, through personal lyrics and cultural reckonings. Whether taking a family trip to Coney Island or simply showing his son snowflakes on Inauguration morning, Harél guides us toward moments of intimacy and understanding, humor and grief. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"I will try,\" he admits, \"to be better than myself, which is all\/I've ever wanted and everything I need.\" Winner of the Raz\/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, \u003ci\u003eLet Our Bodies Change the Subject\u003c\/i\u003e is a secular prayer.
