Synopsis
Whether denouncing insomnia, exploring family tragedy, or celebrating love and lust, his writing is so profoundly original, so funny, twisted and simultaneously literary, you won''t know whether to laugh or cry, but you''ll definitely keep reading. These poems resonate at unexpected moments: on a street corner, waiting on hold with the telephone company, opening the mail. Once you read them, Jeffrey McDaniel''s lines are inescapable.

Review
"One of the best young poets on the planet..." -- Thomas Lux
Synopsis
Whether he is denouncing insomnia ("4,000 A.M."), exploring family tragedy ("GhostTownhouse"), or celebrating love and lust ("The Biology of Numbers"), Jeffrey McDaniel's writing is so profoundly original, so funny, twisted and literary simultaneously, readers won't know whether to laugh or cry, but they will definitely keep reading. These poems resonate at unexpected moments: on a street corner, waiting on hold with the telephone company, opening the mail. But once you read them, these lines are inescapable. Filled with stunning scenes, eerie self-portraits and love poems pulled tendon-tight, these poems distil metaphors into dense, concentrated, intoxicating lines that resonate with passionate desperation. His fine mixture of sensitivity, amiable charm and an arid, dangerous wit mark him as one of the finest, most refreshing and most original young poets writing in America today.
