Tomorrow, We Will Live Here

This is a terse, tough dbut by an award-winning American poet with punch in the language. What you find here is the grist of life death, love, sex, departure honed by a voice obsessed with the gravity, fear and the humour of being human. Van Winkle's understated, plain spoken, narrators are as diverse as the America they live in the lonely night nurse, the conflicted son of a preacher, and the cross-country runner are all ill at ease in the world. Through road kill, September 11th, and death row they address their own bitter faults with noir-like melancholy, seeking redemption and absolution.
