In this fresh poetry collection, Kevin Stein tussles with the current American momentâs skewed notions of social and aesthetic value. His gallery of subjects is bracingly contemporary, including Gold Star Mothers whoâve lost a child to war, nightshift factory workers, estranged veterans, guitarist Les Paul, one coupleâs yard sale romance, a dogâs Valentine poem, and even riffs on toilet paper, Herodotus, congressional discord, and league bowlers. To each, Stein brings both empathy and an astute eye for cultural foibles. He maps his poetic province from this welter, grappling with Li Poâs quest for lyrical detachment as well as the counter urge for communal engagement. These poemsâformally inventive and refreshingly accessible, at turns darkly humorous and trippingly causticâpull no punches. They pose fundamental questions of self and art in the modern era.
