Summary:
Someone who doesn’t experience or understand pleasure re-invents poetry for the 21st century conflicted ego, viewing life as a political problem that no amount of startling emotional turmoil or insight can solve. The texts here range from confessions of conflicted feelings to theories of obsolesce, from the desire for a fluffy towel, to possible dialogs for a future detective novel. Freely mixing a calm, straight-forward voice with fragmented shades of hysteria and polemic, the book lays bare the unsettling disappointment of youthful hope, the utopian dream, and energy lost somewhere between a party and a political action.

There is a steamboat in the backyard and one day it will die. Life, as it is known in i cannot pretend to be a ghost today, is a domestic storm brewing within the careful vocabulary that Fletcher takes for rides around the house, down the hallway, and into the kitchen.
