"We waited for Word to arrive/ like a messiah in a stagecoach/ or a sheriff riding a thundercloud." From acclaimed poet Elaine Equi comes her latest provocatively playful collection. "Thoughtful, witty, curious" ( The New York Times ), Equi's subversive voice delicately refracts human experiences from the colors of weather to the strange ways we make sense of our bodies, from the emptiness of family homes to the flow of time itself.
