Deke Dangle Dive: Poems
What is a person to do upon finding out that his older brother has six months to live? What is a father to tell his young sons about the everyday violence, inequities, and injustices of the world? What is a husband to do when confronted with his domestic foibles and failings? What can poems possibly offer us in the face of unanswerable questions? Deke Dangle Dive explores illness, fatherhood, brotherhood, and masculinity through a variety of lenses, including ice hockey, contemporary culture, and the natural world. This unique collection considers how poems can speak to us and through us when all seems lost.

Read for Advanced Fiction Workshop course. Will analyze it on Wednesday.
At first I was iffy, then this collection of poems sucked me in and wouldn’t let me escape until the end.

A beautiful book of poetry about grieving and grappling with inevitable loss while still trying to get through the mundanities of everyday life. I found myself choking up numerous times while reading through this collection of poems. Definitely worth checking out.
