Description

Romey's Order is a powerful sequence of poems that explore the world through the eyes and voice of an inventive boy-speaker called Romey. Set alongside a river in the South Carolina lowcountry, Romey records the objects, landscapes, injuries, and idiom of his "blood-home" and childhood world with urgent intensity. Through his words, Romey seeks to bind together the fragments of his experience, forging a new kind of connection between language, story, and image. Atsuro Riley's poems are characterized by their musicality, imagination, and visceral power, making for a unique and compelling reading experience. With its innovative storytelling and picture-making, Romey's Order is a collection that will resonate with readers who appreciate the beauty of language and the complexity of human experience.
