Product Description

Joel O’Connor’s poems brim with sensory detail. At the same time, they ‘re boundless. One moment he’s showing you exactly how shadow moves against a door, or a beetle along a wooden window ledge; the next he’s giving his intuition and insight into, say, geology, or some startling quirk of exolution. Reading his work is like seeing eagle-eyed through a kind of magical lens.
