(laughter) - Paperback

by Christopher Heffernan (Author)

Combining lyricism and narrative poetry, (laughter) reaches for and touches, the heart of the heart of where the light of our ordinary days tries with its exhausted efforts in broke down cars and jobless afternoons to penetrate and succeed finally in overcoming the nameless loss and sense of desire and confusion that dogs so many of our hours turning into night. A spectrum of personality and voices is used in barrooms and streets, bedrooms and the sun stained grasses we walk though and lie in, drawing out the emotional landscapes of what is so human and needs to connect in an unfolding of what must break free into what is unknown and then finally, untethered in communion, laugh at the absurdity.
