Publisher Description:
The first word in this new collection by Phil Hall is verb and the last word is blurtip. Between these, many nouns cry out their faith within a hookless framework 1/2that sings in chorus while undermining such standard forms & tropes as the memoir, genealogy and the shepherd's calendar. With a rural pen, these poems talk frogs, carrots, local noises, partial words, remnants, dirt roads, deep breath & hope:

my laboratory the moment
is 1/2accordion-shaped -- cluttered -- sopping

& not eternal
