All Small Planes

Mehr zum Buch

Exquisitely crafted and strangely lyrical in the best way, Eric Roy's All Small Planes navigates attachment and loss in the face of America's opioid crisis via a love poem for Kate, an elegy for Sandor, and poems accompanied by a composite of friends (also known as Small Plane). I am reminded of Amy Long, Larry Levis, and Brigit Pegeen Kelly. Yet Roy also writes a world of his own, aware and weary of his country's maladies while nevertheless remaining "still faithful to a future."
