'Rummaging, I let the senseless whinings, / the ruptured cans and amputations of the news / destroy me, though I froze to see the actual tumor / swollen in my youngest uncle's ear, his lustrous / chemotherapy baldness, though I closed my eyes / days later, as sparrows settled over coils // of razor wire, imagining a soft rain / blanketing a missile site scraped clean / of weeds, planted with its terminus.'--from ''Trash Assemblage at Agua Fria. . First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
