Each line is electric, illuminating poems that extend their metaphors, believing to endure in language is to make love endure. Huey leverages, as all evocative poets do, the ways the body's intuition is always two steps ahead of the mind's reflexive need for order. With high fidelity to the philosopher's discursive insight, the concert goer's raw enthusiasm, and the naturalist's tenderness, this collection sings us a bridge toward the chorus of our collective hearts. Truly, he reminds us how, \"It's the listening body \/ that's fresh. We cannot hear \/ with the same ears twice.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Steven Leyva, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Opposite of Cruelty\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHuey, Amorak:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Amorak Huey is author of four previous books of poetry, including Dad Jokes from Late in the Patriarchy.
