The expansive, energetic new poetry book by David Rivard, author of Sugartown and Wise Poison
You pay as you go. Mornings
at this point are either like spread sails or (more likely)
spread-sheetsthey fill fast. Mornings are fortunes,
but as suspect as a wristwatch running in reverse.
from Vigorish”
David Rivard’s new collection describes the many powerspsychological and historicalthat flow through people’s lives in acts of faith, greed, pleasure, celebrity, gossip, and
consolation. A teenage boy looking at a weathered gravestone wonders how many times he’ll sign his name in his life; the forest on the move in Macbeth intersects with a blind man
cured by Christ; a man coming out of a terrible dream of being lost is saved by touching his wife’s hair. For those of us who need it,” one poem asserts, instruction is
everywhere.”
Rivard’s poetry is full of unsettling humor and the careening movement of memory and imagination.
