A love song to the worldless parts of the world, Airstream Land Yacht explores the inexpressible. Partly grounded in the concrete of everday experience and partly floating away in the ineffable, these poems delve into questions of conscience and problems of consciousness. Generating music from paradox, they treat the intellect as equal parts junk heap and life preserver, making for a spellbinding collection that charts a bold new direction for an acclaimed poet.

Quotes
Add a QuoteI chose to phone my brother, /
over whom I worried, and say so. /
He whispered, lacked affect. He'd lost /
my record collection to looming debt. I /
forgave him - through weak connections, /
through buzz and oceanic crackle - / immediately, without choosing to, /
because it was him I hadn't lost; and /
later cried myself to sleep.
