In this intimate first collection, Bruce Snider explores the intricacies of memory, loss, and identity. A farmer finds the body of a dead child, a boy watches his mother get ready for a date, an overweight sister shares a cupcake. Sometimes funny, always big-hearted and inventive, Snider's book is an attempt to reconcile it all - past and present, fear and desire, self and sexuality - making the barest symbols into their own deeply personal language.
