The long-awaited second full-length collection from one of our most exciting poets. Imagine if you will a pageant on a hill and picture if you can a boy designed to be impaled upon a stilt and bleed for a panelist's joy Jeff Clark's first collection, The Little Door Slides Back , was hailed as an unclassifiable classic in underground American writing: "A shadow world, seen by a visionary" ( Rain Taxi ); "a 120-page spell" ( American Letters & Commentary ); "a happy sadomasochism, a luxuriance of prurience" ( Boston Review ); "devoted to the idea of possibility in the poet who operates as free agent, looking to the weather not for the springs of dailiness but for some message from the aether" ( Arras ); "thick, purring music" ( Rhizome ).
