Description: "The poems of Object Permanence communicate the secret intensity of a world peopled by objects. The author and the figures—burning dolls, prophesying heads, terrified porcelain roosters, pontificating door-knockers—are crammed into a house overlooking Sintra, Portugal. An exposé of the domestic chambers of human experience, these poems find terror and familiarity reside together."--Publisher's website (viewed 08/28/2015).
Notes: Poems.

Edition of 500.
