Title: The Seed Thieves
Description: "In dramatic lyrics and narratives, The Seed Thieves investigates both the mundane and the extramundane. In varying styles and voices, the poems cover a wide spectrum of imagery, including: a man startled to prayer by fireflies, a teenage girl falling from a highway overpass, a drunk circling his lawn in a tractor, children scavenging through the treasures of a shattered pinata. Grappling with death, love, God, and existence in a world where "even lifting our hands to pray / we disturb the air," these poems turn toward death and ruin in search of real light and redemption."--Publisher's website.
