Description
Ron Padgett's latest collection of poems explores the complexities of human nature, seeking to understand what makes us so mean. With characteristic exuberance and tenderness, he poses questions about our shared humanity and the importance of taking things one step at a time. Padgett's poetry is known for its imaginative and action-packed homages to American culture and visual art, as well as its touching elegies and love poems. This new collection continues in this vein, with poems that cajole and question, while championing what makes sense and worth saving. Through his work, Padgett reminds us of the importance of kindness, generosity, and compassion. His poetry is a testament to the power of language to bring people together and inspire us to be our best selves.
