From the Author
Author of A Hummock in the Malookas Says Something
The poems came out of a two-year period in Iowa during the massive flooding and while I was a night janitor at the Van Allen Astronomy Building. I had a lot of time to think about very small things, like my mop, and how hard it worked for me.
From the Back Cover
In the singular landscape of Matthew Rohrer's first book of poems, the weather, the food, even the household appliances come to life. These quirky poems entertain and delicately point to truth. He illuminates a land of skewed realities where the impossible seems familiar, the sacher torte is afraid to be eaten, and it's always dusk in the forest.
