How can someone search for emotional clarity in the murky depths of bewilderment? How deep is Lorca's \"dark root of the scream\" buried? These questions and others comprise the center of The Apathy of Clouds, Domenic Scopa's debut collection of poetry. Scopa uses the motif of the contemporary family to evoke the wounds and love that influence the choices we make for and against our own humanity. Through terse narratives or meditative lyrics, the speakers in these poems rage out against, reflect on, and try to accept the unsolved questions in their hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomenic Scopa is a four-time Pushcart Prize nominee and the 2014 recipient of the Robert K.
