Summary

Longlisted for the 2008 ReLit Awards Whatever their subject -- the unwinding of lovers, childhood as the foundation of being, the metaphorical life of everyday objects and events -- S.E. Venart's poems show us a kind of courage that is quotidian. Surviving childhood, surviving failed love, finding solace in the self, and reinvigorating that self: this is the world Venart reveals to us, in all its prescient detail. A honest and lyrical first book.
