“Daniel Lassell’s electrifying second collection sits us in the middle of nature and asks us to imagine how fragile life and its creation can be. No matter how hard we try to protect our children or ourselves, it ‘Doesn’t matter. In the end, the hardened object is a fragile object—like the body, the earth.’ Lassell works to build formal frames within these poems, borders not only to protect his loves but to understand them and himself. We are guided through snapshots of childhood and divinity, mercy and marriage, of a ‘small dog / yapping / yapping / into hoisted sky’ and how we take for granted what can be so easily taken from us.”
—jason b. crawford, author of YEET! and Year of the Unicorn Kidz
