"Kevin Stein's poems celebrate desire in its various forms. He moves sinuously among the particulars of daily life: infertility, accidents, hummingbirds clustered around his red shirt, a wasp trapped between panes of glass. With grace and intelligence, he asks what these ostensibly discrete details amount to. Stein elucidates the interwoven beauty and horror in such events and in the lives of an armless man reading in a library, a group of Vietnamese immigrants, and a father whose son is dying with AIDS. From their experience, and his own yearning for a child, he composes an absorbing record of human want."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
