Description
In these poems, Albert Abonado turns the everyday aftermath of mishaps into a kind of fieldwork—observing how accidents reverberate through bodies, relationships, and memory. With a keen, unsentimental lyric eye, the collection traces moments of rupture and recovery, moving between the physical immediacy of harm and the quieter, longer labor of making meaning afterward. The book explores themes of vulnerability, chance, responsibility, and the strange tenderness that can emerge when life refuses to stay orderly. Written in Abonado’s distinctive, image-driven style, these poems read like dispatches from the edge of the ordinary, where grief, humor, and resilience share the same page.
