Tap Out: Poems

I'm almost sorry I'm finished reading this book, but I'm sure I'll read it again. This is one of the finest collections of poetry I've ever read. It is dark and real and laden with emotion, some on the surface, some buried deep. Some poems I could relate to–and by relate, it felt like the poet was talking about my own relationship with my father–and others just moved me. The poems come from a place I haven't been, but they take me there. I expect to hear more of Edgar Kunz. [I got this book when I heard him read at Powells in Portland, Oregon, and when the first poem he read nearly made me cry I was sold.]
