Synopsis:

This is the second collection of poems by Seattle-based Canadian poet Brandon Pitts. In his new collection, he extends the themes of his initial offering Pressure to Sing (IOWI, 2010) and gives the reader a clearer understanding of the interconnected personal, theological and political themes of his work, suggesting a literary and cultural “key” to its full appreciation. Pitts returns the reader to the Hebrew/Christian/Islamic story of angels and men (and women) that is at the root of the modern consciousness, offering an immanent critique of its latest manifestations.
