About this ebook
Speculative poetry collected from places like "The Alaska Quarterly Review", "The Iowa Review", "G.W. Review", "Inlet" and elsewhere. Things to do on the world's last day. Teaching a younger brother to drown. A woman who appeases dragons. The parking lot attendant at the time portal. The deference afforded rainmakers. Eighty-four poems to spur the imagination and expand the horizon.
