Premis
In his moving debut collection, Matt Rasmussen faces the tragedy of his brother's suicide, refusing to focus on the expected pathos, blurring the edge between grief and humor. In "Outgoing," the speaker erases his brother's answering machine message to save his family from "the shame of dead you / answering calls." In other poems, once-ordinary objects become dreamlike. A buried light bulb blooms downward, "a flower / of smoldering filaments." A refrigerator holds an evening landscape, "a tinfoil lake," "vegetables / dying in the crisper."

I hadn't heard of this book until someone recommended it to me (I am fairly new to contemporary poetry). I usually don't like dark poetry- the meditative kind is more my type (Mary Oliver and Ted Kooser). However, I enjoyed this book in spite of my initial doubt about it. The imagery is wonderful; the topic is very heavy. ( )
