Running the gamut from traditional to radical forms, this collection of poems - seeking spiritual consolation within a material world - continues the trajectory of the author's previous books but extends his lyrical range. The centerpiece of the volume's tripartite structure is a meditation on the events surrounding 9/11 and its aftermath.
In his fifth book of poems, Timothy Liu addresses a tripartite ""Thee"": the Divine, the Beloved, and the State. A precarious dance between the spiritual and the material ensues, the lyric poem confronting a consumer culture overrun by rampant lust and greed yet finding itself unable to wholly stand outside of what it critiques.
