Publisher Description:
One of the New York Public Library's 25 Books to Remember in 1997 Lux comments on the absurd, the pathetic, and the commonplace in our culture, writing with compassion as well as satire. He is singular among his peers in his ability to convey with a deceptive lightness the paradoxes of human emotion, says Publishers Weekly, and Robert Hass, in the Washington Post Book World, takes special note of Lux's bitter wit, the kind of irony that comes with a quick, impatient intelligence.

Contributor Bio(s): Lux, Thomas: - THOMAS LUX holds the Bourne Chair in Poetry and is the director of the McEver Visiting Writers Program at Georgia Institute of Technology. He has been awarded three NEA grants and the Kingsley Tufts Award and is a former Guggenheim Fellow. He lives in Atlanta.
