Tom Crawford's words paint familiar landscapes--Seattle's coastline, New York's public spaces, rural China, and Western mobile homes--in a new light.
In poems as humorous as they are revelatory, sea birds careen off cliff walls Then back/to the water to consider/where they went wrong, nudes are spontaneously drawn in urban coffee shops, and the Bhagavad Gita sits on a shelf in a trailer home, holding up deodorant. Crawford's Eastern spirituality, tempered by working-class pragmatism, transforms these narrative poems into memorable portraits of the everyday.
